Short Film: Creating Awareness: In Due Time (by Fahmi Galloway)
Hello friends & family!!
In honor of Black History month, this year a few friends & I have decided to do something different! I would like to borrow your attention for a second & fill you in on an exclusive look at what the black men of the community are doing! This visual, Creating Awareness: In Due Time, was inspired and written by the main character, Fahmi Galloway, who chose to shoot this video & give back on his birthday (1/15/12)!
There’s so many different stereo types for young African-American males, so let’s see how the stereotypes play out in the video! This video is unscripted & fictional to the best of our ability.
Enjoy!! This is our first of many Awareness videos to come! Get involved! Feel free to share!! Thanks for your support!!
