We are saddened by this tragic news! was an alumni of the film festival and we loved him for many reasons.

In this lifetime, he definitely made his impact as an actor but beyond that, he became a staple everywhere he went in everyone’s lives.

To our good brother and from everyone at The Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival, rest in peace Hakeem. We love you!

One of the biggest highlights of our weekend was this! 😏

THEE LEON and amazing director Wes Miller graced our stage at this year’s film festival!

It was amazing to talk to them both and get the scoop on building the film and the breakdown of the characters.

How can we top this next year?!
