The talented and beautiful Ebony J Lewis has written, directed, and produced her latest film, “Truth Unspoken”. Miss Lewis has not only set the foundation for the film, but she also demonstrates her acting abilities by starring in the film alongside a very good friend of mine, Christopher Howard.

Truth Unspoken is a suspense drama about a couple’s journey through life, lies, love and ultimately a life changing decision. Jay and Tracy seem like the perfect couple and although they love each other, love does not always tell the truth.

Anyone that watches the trailer must admit that the suspense is captivating. It makes you want more…it just makes you want to know what happened??? What is going on??? So many questions to be answered….I am super excited to see what the entire film has to offer.

As a recognized selection of the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival, the trailer for the film was presented for a crowd of press representatives at Concrete located at 320 West 37th street in New York City. The event was a successful networking opportunity sponsored by Raymond Napa Valley Wines.

Cadillac Records and Beyonce As Etta James

Posted by Mona-Elisa on December 2, 2008

cadillacrecordsI was invited to a private screening of Cadillac Records yesterday evening and I was really blown away by the acting. To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect except for seeing Beyonce wearing a short blonde wig, but the movie was REALLY GOOD! Now, i’m no movie critic, but I was definitely entertained. The acting was good, the singing was amazing, and Beyonce was a show stopper! Did I fail to mention that she also Executive Produced the film….Beyonce is just amazing, but on with the film….

“Cadillac Records” brings to life the rise of Chess Records in a sexy film depicting the artistic journey of it’s recording artists. The movie takes place in Chicago during the 1950′s. Jeffrey Wright played the role of Muddy Waters all too well.
