The film is about a young man coping after a break up & left adrift in Ptown with his travel visa running out. Lourenço then meets Maurice a Black American & a romance evolves. Though Maurice's comes with a circle of friends he's is also quite aware he's the minority in a predominantly white queer tourist mecca.

The film distributed by Strand Releasing premiered at South by Southwest & was released in NYC earlier this month followed by an expansion to Los Angeles & will begin a run at Waters Edge Cinema in Provincetown & Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline, MA on Friday November 1st.

Finding our people is something I think we all strive for. For some of us, this is easy and for others, it can be quite difficult. In the landscape and nature photography community, there are well-established cliques of people who photograph together frequently, often comprised of white men. Why this is the case has always been a mystery to me; however, I genuinely always want to put myself in the shoes of others who are not like me to understand what it is like to live like them. This week I had the pleasure of hanging out and chatting with Angela Ledyard. Angela is a landscape photographer living in Texas, originally from Ohio. She recently created a group called the Black Female Landscape & Nature Photographers, which has become a prominent community and beacon for African American nature photographers. It was awesome hearing her story and to hear about why and how she created the group. I think you'll enjoy our chat. On this week's episode, we discuss: Angela's journey into photography. Why Angela has chosen nature photography as her medium. Why and how Angela created the Black Female Landscape & Nature Photographers community. The challenges of being a black female in the landscape photography realm. What Angela's goals are with her photography. How moving from Ohio to California changed how she saw nature as a photographer. Angela's 5-day trip to Peru and what it was like for her to photograph there. And a lot more!

Being the masterful storyteller that he is, James takes us on the circuitous journey from being a creative kid growing up in Florida that also happened to have height and athletic talent that propelled him toward sports rather than performing. Ultimately, his passion and true calling, plus learning to embrace his authentic super power of being himself brought him to Los Angeles with very little money to intern for another FAMU graduate Will Packer.

This episode examines WEB DuBois's notion of "double consciousness," which he defines as a way in which Blacks have both the opportunity and the curse of seeing the world in a manner he suggests was unavailable to Whites. I read from the two essays in which DuBois employs the term and address some of the difficulties facing its interpretation. I then employ the term to examine the participation of Black performers in Blackface minstrelsy, specifically James Bland and Bert Williams. Our focus turns to Williams's signature character, the Jonah Man, which I construe as a subtle and sly critique of social indifference.

May is mental health awareness month. Last year we brought you, “You Good?” with Nick Gaines to discuss and unpack mental health and treatment in the black community. We're continuing this conversation by recapping one of our favorite web series entitled "Giants" featuring James Bland, Vanessa Baden Kelly and Sean Samuels. This show follows three millennials determined to live life on their own terms, no matter the cost, and what they learn as they deal with pursuing purpose, love, spirituality and dealing with mental health challenges. THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS!! But first, the hot topics that drove us to drink: The reckoning has started at the White House in the form of a large sink hole on the white house lawn; the Santa Fe High School shooting and Bullying vs. Patriarchy: Betsy Devos is as evil as she looks; and why Harry and Meghan help destigmatize mental health across the pond and beyond. #giants #mentalhealth #royalwedding #betsydevos #immigration #DontStopListenListen #trapbrew

Joinme on TWITTER for a chat with John..Use @ joykeys and @johnautryii  or hashtag #SMJK To meet John today, you would never guess that he was once described as shy. His outgoing personality makes him a true people magnet, and his childhood dream of becoming an actor is coming true.  In the summer of 2007, John was filmed in a starring dramatic role for his first television pilot “Katrina”. His television pilot is still awaiting pickup from Nickelodeon. In mid 2009, John met casting director Robert Ulrich and team when he first went on an audition for “Glee”. He was so excited to be there. John had to learn how to sign the Beatles' song “Imagine”. Robert encouraged him to try it different ways. Robert was kind, patient and supportive. It was two weeks later, John remembered sitting on the front porch, his father came out with a big smile on his face and said, “you got the part!” He was so happy when he got the part. When he went to the set of “Glee” and met all cast members, it was so cool. In the winter of 2009, John appeared on “Til Death” after Brad Garrett and his production team saw him on “Glee” and thought John was very talented. Brad wanted him to play the short part on his show. In January 2011, he went on an audition for the new TV show called “No Ordinary Family” and got the part. He portrayed Jasper Woods. John met James Bland, who is a co-president of Home Team Entertainment. James put him on his web show “FAIL”. John continues to be on the web show.   John's acting reel: http://youtu.be/FC3Im47E-Yo
