Now coming full circle with an idea which started at a book fair, Epps will be one of the featured authors and ambassadors at the 16th Annual Leimert Park Village Book Fair on Saturday, November 11, 2023, beginning at 11am.
Epps revealed that he was drawn to the project, which is out in theaters, digital, and VOD October 18th, because he felt it would be a challenge.
The 23rd annual American Black Film Festival (ABFF), taking place in Miami June 12-16, launches the first Social Impact Showcase, a curated program dedicated to raising awareness of films based on cause-related themes, relevant to communities of color. This year’s theme Fatherhood: The Foundation of the Black Family will feature a collection of short films, followed by an engaging conversation with the directors, and the event host— actor and author Omar Epps.
Under writer/director David E. Talbert’s guidance, you know there will be equal doses of merriment and inspirational message. Toss in producer Will Packer’s sensibility and you can pile on the silliness and bawdy humor.
