The P.A.C.T. Video




This is the video I filmed in under one day using just one actor and a camera that had no tri-pod. It is a story based on an actual group of health care workers that focus on the mentally ill. I originally shot this for a contest but after a heck of a lot of waiting and wasting of energy I decided to post it here. This story follows a character named Francis "KUJI" Franklin who after hearing terrible news about one of his clients/patients goes for a long contemplative walk in the park (FYI - KUJI is short for Kujichagulia which is a day during Kwanzaa). Kuji is one of the few diverse characters in this story of how people from all facets of life can unite and work together to benefit society's often ignored and disenfranchised elements. The P.A.C.T.(People for Active Community Treatment) which I gave an alternate name of The P.A.R.C.(People for Active Reinstatement in the Community), are the rescuers of those that are about to give up hope and the givers of new beginnings.

BLACK NJ HOLIDAY MIXER









So I went to this mixer feeling sort disgruntled because several of the last mixers I went to were very disappointing. However, it is the holiday season and my sister had already bought the tickets.
At first it was rather quiet but after a while the dj went old school and everybody (except me) hit the floor and danced the night away. The youngest girl there that night was a grad student and she was one of the highlights of the night. She knew every song word for word and sang while dancing (she is the girl in the white sweater). My sister who was wear a purple glitter top kept her company on the dance floor and paid for it the next morning with sore toes and cramps in her feet (LOL).
Anyway, the mixer was a surprising success in my opinion even if I didn't network as much as I normally do.
Have a great holiday season. PEACE.
