Bobby Yan is one of the best directors i know, so it's ALWAYS a treat to have his films in MECCAcon IFF. This year, he will have a film that he directed, THE ADULTERER, as well as his own film w/ an all Asian cast (his first) THE INTERVIEW, which is visual GOLD. Super appreciative of all the submissions we've been receiving this year!! Another filmmaker we're excited to have this year is Sanicole Young whose film, Training Wheels Short Film is an official selection this year, and has been getting heavy attention in the film fest streets. Be on the lookout for that in promo to come. We're also super excited to add Shawn Antoine II to the family, alongside our cousin Korstiaan Vandiver!! Their film, Showtime Film, is absolutely outstanding, and such power filled storytelling in a very new and unique way. Another filmmaker we are bringing back is Jumai Yusuf, who is now tapping into horror with her new film, LUCID! Soooo many submissions, so little time, family. These are only a few! 6th annual MECCAcon Detroit #MECCAconDSA2019 at Detroit School of Arts, aka 6 floors of greatness, is underway in full... you comin'? tables/panels/presentations/performances/volunteering: [email protected]/ 3134510297 film: FilmFreeway.com/MECCAconIFF #indiefilm 💚#meccaconiff #indiefilmfest #blackfilm #pocfilmmakers #directher #arraynow #ava #avaduvernay #filmmakers #independentfilm #internationalfilmfestival #bobbyyan #sanicole #showtimefilm #marzfilm (at Detroit School of Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtzucWGBMY2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wykx030j5c0x
