A few cities will see a limited theatrical release and others screening events, which we're going to work with TUGG with. This is s self-distribution strategy and for a Caribbean film with Caribbean content, this is the only way to be seen in theaters to what I believe to be a core audience. The question is, is this the most effective strategy, start with the core and maybe spread? Thoughts?
Hello Omari how are you? Thank you for connecting. Bless. Navid
Between Friends- A Trinidadian film capturing the realities of sex, love and relationships in between men and women in the Caribbean.

Hey Omari, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users.

If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you ho...

Conversely, a really good story usually also addresses some deeper question. But in a good film, the audience is allowed to discover the deeper question, while enjoying the story. Tootsie springs to mind, or more recently Breaking Bad.
So, bottom line, tell a good story.

As a screenwriter, it’s my job to connect the reader with the story and the message being conveyed.
