Kings of the Evening
by Joel Martin ~ April 8th, 2008. Filed under: Diversity.While at the AZ Black Film Showcase, I attended the screening of the new film Kings of the Evening. If you have an opportunity to see this do. It’s a touching story that takes place in the 1930’s when times were tough especially for Black Americans. Inspired by a tradition from The Republic of South Africa, the film portrays a community where Black men dressed in their best for a competition and “the glory of strutting their stuff with pride and style”. I’ll be back with more news on this from a cultural perspective and on the actors and crew but this is a start for you. Look for this film!

I to think that it was a remarkable film. I have but one complaint, I played Al, the bartender and it seems that because this was my first film that I am always left out of the cast and crew list. If you saw the film you know that Al had a very important role. Thank You Quiett
