KILLING LAZARUS

Born in the spirit and backdrop of the Web Series boom of '05 - ‘09 that brought us household name stars and Emmy Award winners like Issa Rae, and Lena Waithe KILLING LAZARUS was my scrappy no budget, directorial / writing debut. Starting from the idea of bringing together the best and biggest names from the black new media world for a truly first of its kind dramatic, feature length project. Produced by Issa Rae Presents it also feature internet rock - stars Dormtainment (also producers).

This two hour Dramatic labor of love made an unpredictable splash finding its way to packed screening nation wide and on to the screens of some country’s biggest, most prestigious urban film festivals. Festivals including The American Black Film Festival, Pan African Film Festival, and more. Even winning the Audience Choice Award at the Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival. A cautionary urban tale steeped in weighty subject matter from mental health to spirituality, drugs, and gang culture, KILLING LAZARUS ultimately went on to find its home on Amazon Prime, Google Play, and a virtual litany of transactional VOD platforms, world wide.
