By: T.MORRISON AGENCY Staff

T.MORRISON AGENCY has partnered with Award-Winning Filmmakers Alrick Brown and Deatra Harris for the 30-day Kickstarter campaign to fund their latest project, My Manz by award-winning writer, JM Benjamin. 

The opening minutes of “My Manz” takes place ten years before the rest of the film. We will use the money raised to shoot that portion of the movie and then use those scenes to raise the rest of the budget —1 million dollars.

To literally kickstart this feature film “My Manz” based on a novel by JM Benjamin $60,000 will need to be raised.  Brown shares, "We are asking everyday people to give $20.00 and thank 20 people who helped them with their particular hustle. Giving is important and thanking helps us share our journey and unifies a community around the film."

Scheduled to shoot in Plainfield, New Jersey, Alrick Brown, is recognized as one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces to Watch and an Emerging FilmMaker in Vanity Fair, Alrick Brown is an award winning writer, director, and producer.

His collective works have screened in over 65 festivals worldwide, earning numerous awards and honors. His first feature, Kinyarwanda premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and went on to win several awards including the World Cinema Audience Award for best dramatic film at both Sundance and AFI Fest.

National is our Permanent Home!

By: @1stLadyofPR

I can hardly believe we are in the 3rd Qtr of the year and boy, has it been a whirlwind affair!

As we enjoy the cool breeze of Summer like a Spring day in Atlanta (weather has been cray-cray), we must also enjoy the progress that has been made in these past months!

Our clients have raised the bar which has refocused our lens to only seek national media and national opportunities - (Insert round of applause!).  Though exciting, anytime your territory is enlarged that automatically means more work is to be done which means periods of tiredness, challenge and even some losses. However, it's this process, a combination of pruning, learning and enduring that produces the greatest of results.

With that, we are excited to announce our agency is leading the way with a couple of national tours!

The "Can You Do It Standing Up?" National College Tour w/bestselling author Kenny Pugh kicks off this school semester! Complete details are forthcoming! If you are interested in being part of this tour as a sponsor, ambassador or partner, you can click here for more info.

Max-a-bolic 3.0 National Fitness & Wellness Tour with Celebrity Trainer Max Nazaire kicks off this August in Atlanta with a fitness flash mob! To join the mob which includes a deejay, celebrity appearances and a free workout, click here.

Thanks to all of our clients: Kenny Pugh, LLC, Abstinence Matters, Brandon Frame, BlackBride.com, Max Nazaire, Fit2DMax, Impact Worship Center, Dr. Claudia Barnett, Jasmine Guy and countless media, bloggers and friends for their unwavering support of the work we do!

@1stLadyof PR celebrating various wins for T.MORRISON AGENCY! And yes, that is R&B Award-Winning Singer, Montell Jordan and his wife Kristin :)
