I shared my film with experienced film makers. They gave me incredible advice. They taught me about ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜†, ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฐ. They gave me advice around my "๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜" and how to better present it. They also gave me suggestions on how to better sequence the scenes of my storyline. With this incredible information, I went back and worked to incorporate their suggestions into the film.

This morning, Erica and I watched the final cut... we both cried.

I told my film maker friends that I'm just a guy passionate about telling lost stories of the formerly enslaved... I'm not really a film maker. Their response... "๐™…๐™ค๐™๐™ฃ... ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™– ๐™›๐™ž๐™ก๐™ข ๐™ข๐™–๐™ ๐™š๐™ง ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฌ." I guess I am.

The film will be on the Film Festival circuit for the next year. Most festivals around the world require that the film be a premiere in their geographic area, never having been publicly shared over the internet. So I can't share it with you all until late 2027. That said, If you're interested in seeing in prior, I will let you all know as it comes to festivals in each state or country.

Please follow our film age at Reverence: Reclaiming the Forgotten.

I was a little nervous about how my ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜† address would go at the Wethersfield Parade today. My words were heavy on re-inserting the marginalized back into our history. I reminded the audience that today is the 126th anniversary of ๐—ฆ๐—ด๐˜. ๐—ช๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† receiving the Medal of honor.. a formerly enslaved man who became the first black man to receive this award. He received the award for ensuring the American Flag did not touch the ground while the 54th Massachusetts Colored Regiment stormed the beaches of Morris Island. He held the flag steady even though he was wounded. I shared with them the story of ๐—๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ต๐˜‚๐—ฎ ๐—ข๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, a Wethersfield resident who served in the 29th Connecticut Colored Regiment during the Civil War, dying in Texas just prior to the regiments return to Connecticut. I shared with the audience that Joshua was the great-grandson of ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜… ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜†, an enslaved man who enlisted during the Revolutionary War in place of his enslaver as a means to gain his freedom.

I ultimately reminded the audience that telling a fuller story does not diminish Americaโ€ฆ it strengthens it. It shows we recognize our history, and weโ€™re not afraid to acknowledge it. We understand that all aspects of our history serve as critical ingredients to what has produced a great nation.

I was appreciative that my speech was received incredibly well. I took a picture with Connecticut Senator ๐—๐—ผ๐—ต๐—ป ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ as a memento of such a wonderful day. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ

Hey Kinfolk! Weโ€™re booked and busy this weekend! Hereโ€™s what we have planned for Saturday night and hope you will join us!

We are welcoming CT based author, John Mills on Saturday, May 16th at 5pm for a discussion of his book, The Narrative of Primus: A Lineage Woven into American History. This is going to be a compelling discussion about Primus, genealogy, and the state of CT.

The Narrative of Primus is a compelling and deeply personal contribution to African American history, slavery studies, New England history, Connecticut history, genealogy, and the American story. It reminds us that America was built not only by the celebrated, but by the unseen-and that their descendants are still here to tell the story.

John will answer questions and sign his book.

I know it's unconventional. I know most movie trailers have music, and fast cuts to various scenes, but I just couldn't get myself to do that. I'm honoring people I revere. I wanted calm.

I've never received a gift from descendants before. I wasn't even sure how to accept it. God assigned me to give, not receive. But I find myself holding and staring at this for hours.

Thank you so much. โค๏ธ
