Birdman Inspired Me!

I went to see Birdman. It inspires! The artistic filmmaking of Alejandro González Iñárritu says one thing, "Master of the art form of film making". What command he has over the performer. Boy! I was inspire, I laughed my ass off at all the balls jokes. It was silly, deep and at points emotionally moving. Birdman wins but more importantly it inspires, or should inspire filmmakers such as myself to reach for new heights. Often I see filmmakers trying to mimic styles of other filmmakers when Alejandro makes it cool just to be you. Wow! I know at least a nomination is coming.

See ya at the theater. Center seat, middle row.

I didn’t think I came off aloof but you never know what someone is thinking or the opinion they formed about you based on what little information they had. I’m no outsider to the film industry; however I am clearly not an insider in this person’s mind so the p

DERICK A THOMAS BALTIMORE'S VISIONARY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE

BALTIMORE'S VISIONARY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE By Belinda Trotter-James Derick Thomas now Derick Prince always wanted to be a filmmaker. As a kid he was inspired by the actor Robert Guillaume; you may best know him on the hit television show Benson. At the age of six he has always been a fan of television and it just unfolded into the film-making business when he was a teenager. That’s when he finally got a chance to explore all aspects of film-making. “At the age of six there were not a lot of us on television and television influences children which is one of the reasons why we have so many bad influences today, but that’s another story,” says Derick. “Robert Guillaume was intelligent, articulate, he had power, he had persuasion plus he was the guy who had everything and at six years old I watched him and thought, ‘I can do that.’ He was just a great role model for that time.” When I asked what was he like as a child, he
