Michael Blackson, Tatyana Ali, Elise Neal and Affion Crockett were some of the many celebrities at the opening night of Los Angeles’ biggest black film festival last night. The 28th annual black film festival, which takes place each year during Black History month in America, was held at the Director Guild’s headquarters on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and kicked off with the premiere of Caribbean filmmaker Frances-Anne Solomon’s “Hero.”
With Trinidad’s Success Steel Orchestra supplying the entertainment and a three course Trinidadian dish on the menu, guests were treated to a full Pan African experience.
