Lets do a quick edit into the festival run SGP has been doing the past two years and add the scene where you can now officially stream"She's Got A Plan" on UMC.tv aka the Urban Movie Channel and Amazon Prime!! That's right! We are get'n our STREAM ON!! Amazing right! Annnnd I will hold this scene for applause from the audience and then gladly smile back with a million kisses from the screen. This is a tremendous moment that was built from countless hours of work and it feels so good! HHD would like to send shout outs and love to all the people that helped make this lil independent film a reality from the DP, to the producers, to the sound people, to the grips, to funders, to the caterers, to our Mommas, to the... well damn you know I can go on with this list like forever and I'm already imagining the award show's music coming on and rushing us off the stage. But trust me there's a lot of love we're feeling for everyone of you and this thank you list will be read at the perfect moment at many different places- fingers crossed. You know we're big dreamers over here at Hella Hella Dreams and this is one checked off the dream list. Ok crew back to one -and lets roll back to action!

SGP LOVES IT'S LAURELS
Everybody pan down and take a look at the laurels of some of the awesome festivals that we were so blessed to be a part of the past year and a half. It's been the greatest adventure to go out in the world and be able to show people the film and most importantly the chance to be able to hear your feedback and thoughts on what was just seen. We do it for you and the love we all have for a real good story about real people living life in the real world. Yeah I know thats a lot of "real" but thats what we strive for when it comes to Hella Hella Dreams film works and the projects we put out. I think 2018 is going to be a really good year. Oh! This just in: pretty soon you won't have to be at a theater to see the movie! That's right you'll be able to see it wherever you are from your streaming smart device. Oh the things that are brewing are gonna make you want to fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride! I hope you're ready. We definitely are! Ok lets get the dolly back to one and track this next shot and ACTION!!

SGP GETS LIGHT ON THE SMALL SCREEN
QUIET ON THE SET!!! We just want to give a huge shout out to Kirsten Gutierrez and ABC news for having us on to profile our feature film "SGP" and to be included in the conversation about gender inequality, sexual harassment and staying true to yourself. It's always amazing to shed light to issues that we have also showcased in our movie and give real insight and create dialogue which in the end starts the moment of healing. It's that magic when you feel like the cosmos are aligning and your hard work is coming together. I mean thats what we make movies for right? To push topics that "are" and "aren't" in the frontline and need to be discussed. Life imitates art and so on...ok I'm gonna stop here because I can go on and on about this but instead we'll drop this lil gem link and you can check it out yourself. More great stuff to come folks and remember your dreams can never be sidelined so keep pushing everyday to make them come true. Ok! EVERYBODY!! Movement on the set anddddd ACTION!!!

SUCCESS ONCE AGAIN! THIS TIME @PAFF!
BOOM!!! Firework explosions! Yes! I am going to be using a lot of exclamation points to start this news update off! First off! Shouts out to my beautiful and talented Hella Hella Dreams partner Fatima Washington! She's Got a plan aka "SGP LA" was amazing! The night was full of family, friends, and supporters! Honestly I actually would like to think of them as all one in the same! Family! And That's right people! We swang our little big indie film out to the sunny west coast on February 10th at 8:15pm and brought the almost sold out house down!! Afterwards we (Me & Fatima) had a Q& A with the beautiful and delightful Tanika Ray and answered a few questions the audience was thinking about. The insight was incredible! Thank you! The night got even better when some of the cast members (Golden Brooks, Chris Williams, Johnny Threenutz, Itoco Garcia, Julian Brooks, and myself Corey Johnson) got a chance to speak upon what the film role was for them. The night was amazing and a lot of great things were said about the six year production of this little big film titled "She's Got a plan." Oh! And instead of screening our film twice, like what was already scheduled, Paff informed us that they were going to be screening our film for a third day that following Monday. We were so honored!! And even though we didn't win any of the awards for the festival, we felt the love and acceptance just by being able to showcase our film with other distinguished film makers. Bless up! I want to give a big shout out to the man himself Ayuko Babu who gave us so much love and allowed this moment to happen. We also want to say thank you to the Paff staff for throwing such a grand affair. And last but not least I would like to thank the amazing and incomparable Ja'net Dubois for not only acting in our little film that could- choo choo!! But also reminding us that as black people in america- we will be forever moving on up! All you gotta do is want it! Bless! Love! And please take a look at some of our pictures from the festival. Keep dreaming...I will never lie when I say "We need em!" We inspire each other to the next level of wonder! Stay tuned and if you get a chance to see our film you should come out ! To the moon row of exclamation marks! Hella Hella dreams!!
