African Cinema Conference presents...
- Just Like Me, Inc. has embarked on a mission to create
one of the first Black animated fairytales entitled Princess Briana to
be released in theaters nationwide. This project has already received
rave reviews from executives and producers in Hollywood. The script for
Princess Briana took 2nd runner-up in the Storyteller Competition at the
Hollywood Black Film Festival this year. Currently, Just Like Me, Inc.
is in communications with casting directors to find well established
Black actors with name recognition to play the two lead roles in the
animated film. At the same time the company is in negotiations with an
established producer to oversee the direction of the project.
For decades, Black children across the United States have been deprived
of seeing positive animated images that look like them in movie
theaters. Just Like Me, Inc. is here to create movies with Black super
heroes, Black action heroes, Black kings and queens that represent Black
culture in a positive light for all children. Over the next two years
Just Like Me, Inc. is raising millions of dollars to produce this
animated film.
Just Like Me, Inc. will need support from every sector of the Black
community (businesses, organizations, churches, parents, etc.) to
complete this film. The company is using its flagship product, the Just
Like Me Series, and a new line of clothing to continue to raise the
necessary capital to complete the film. The Just Like Me Series has been
proven to help erase negative stereotypes about Black people in the
minds of children. The Just Like Me Series has been featured on CBS
News, BET, and Upscale Magazine highlighting the books ability to
inspire and motivate Black children.
Just Like Me, Inc. is also making strides in other forms of media by
producing a half-hour cartoon series entitled DeAndre & Vanessa and
publishing Princess Briana, the book. DeAndre & Vanessa is action-packed
series full of exciting adventures and surprise gadgets that would put
James Bond to shame. DeAndre & Vanessa's travels through time could
unravel the very laws of the universe if they fail to complete their
objective. Princess Briana is a fairytale that teaches young girls to
love the features that God gave them without feeling inferior because
they don't fit someone else's idea of beauty. This company is on a
mission to create positive Black images in every form of media,
including books, half-hour cartoons, and feature length animated movies.
A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step. Help Just Like Me, Inc. to
take the necessary steps to achieve its goal of creating positive Black
images for all children. Support by going to www.justlikemebooks.com or
