I admit I’m not the best with promotions, and truthfully it can feel arbitrary considering the state of things. At the same time, I feel compelled to say it’s been a blessing to share AKILLA’S ESCAPE with folks. Understanding theatre going and independent film is not a high priority in people’s lives, I appreciate the feedback and learning the deeper message in the work was not lost on some.
:
Over several months we toured select cities from my favourite theatre @angelikafilmny to the @wfgcinematheque - Sending my gratitude into the ether, to the folks who ventured out in these times. Now, thanks to @cineplexmovies & @levelfilm we come home for an exclusive week long run at @scotiabanktheatre Toronto. If you are seeking #blackcinema on the big screen, here‘s one for you 🖤 @akillasescape starts today, Friday Sept. 24th to Thursday Sept. 30th.

Loved this conversation with @saulwilliams - Thank you @theelvismitchell for your insightful perspective and holding space for @akillasescape - Williams tells KCRW The Treatment he wished more films today told stories of migration from countries such as Haiti and Jamaica to North America, as “Akilla’s Escape” does.

Time has been elusive. Words about weeks past since it’s not everyday a film you make receives 5 CSA Awards. Still, I am moved and inspired by the Akilla's Escape team. Still so proud. Still thankful @thecdnacademy for the honourable recognition. I believe that is what most creatives hope for. The things we make reaches someone, somewhere…
