If you're interested in black independent film, you may also be interested in Black Dynamite (2009). The student film group I advise played this film on a recent Saturday night in Lumina Theater. The students found out that director Scott Sanders was appearing at the North Carolina Black Film Festival just a couple of days before their showing in Lumina Theater, so they made a special trip to talk to him. Not only was he quite gracious to my students at the event, but he also agreed to come to UNCW for free to host a Q and A with the audience after we showed Black Dynamite (since he had planned to be in our town for a few more days). The audience loved the film and the students were thrilled to get such support from an independent film director!

You might see if either the Directors Guild or Screen Actors Guild ( he would be a member of both) can give you office or agent contact. Sony handled the DVD release so someone would there would have contact info but I would not hold your breath on getting it.
