Hollywood Black Film Festival 2007

Hollywood Black Film Festival Highlights

How do you manage to watch 122 films in 5 days? You don't! Like most people attending the 2007 Hollywood Black Film Festival (HBFF) you pick and choose. So I managed to see a couple of films and attend a few the parties. Of course, the best networking in Hollywood is often done amid loud music with a pretty glass of liquid courage in one hand, and your business card in the other.

Filmmakers and supporters, myself included, tore the roof of a couple of spots in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. And since I didn't officially celebrate my birthday, I got my groove on!....On the dance floor that is. I dropped it like it was hot, luke warm, and finally cold when the body screamed, No Mas! Here's some pics of my HBFF experience:

AOL Black Voices & local radio station, V100, sponsored the opening night party

Comedian, actor Tommy Davidson graced the place.

Comedienne and V100 morning show co-host, Sheryl Underwood, and co-host, Cliff Winston

Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills, 1 of 2 theaters that held festival screenings

Even the smartest 5th grader would have to question parking near it!

Filmmakers like to get their shine on in front of the camera too!

Meet me at the club, it's going down! At the HBFF party it's guaranteed to go down!

And the reason for it all, film festival and Black Talent News founder, Tanya Kersey, chats with party host, B. Scott, of lovebscott.com.
