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.

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!

Star Athlete Releases Book Sharing Triumph over Rare Heart Disease and Reclaiming Wellness

By: T.MORRISON AGENCY Staff:

Fit2DMax Inc. presents the release of International Wellness Ambassador, Max Nazaire's sophomore title, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Wellness: How to Claim Your God Given Right to Be Healthy ($19.99 or e-book $7.99 Amazon.com). Nazaire is a Brooklyn, New York native and was recruited as a top athlete to run cross country track and field at Farmingdale State University in Long Island where he would go on to set the Freshman record in the 5 mile run in just his first race before he suffered a major heart attack at the tender age of 18.

After a battery of tests, Nazaire was diagnosed with a rare and potentially fatal heart condition called Wolff Parkinson's White Syndrome that required him to have two surgeries. Not only did he beat the disease, but he has inspired others to live a life of health and wellness.

In Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Wellness, Maxim Nazaire who has been featured in major media outlets such as CNN, shares his testimony on how he was able to overcome injury, disease, depression, and self doubt to become one of the leading wellness ambassadors of today. When Nazaire realized that it was his God given right to be healthy, he was determined to become "Spiritually, Mentally and Physically Strong", his company's tagline, to inspire others to do the same.

Founder of Atlanta-based Fit2DMax, Inc., Nazaire is also a nationally recognized coach by the United States Track and Field (USATF), an organization that is known for having some of the best athletic coaches in the world.
