Reception 6:30 p.m. at Garden
Theatre, 160 West Plant Street,

(407)877-4736. This brilliant
film by Dwayne Body is a 34th
& Askew Production about a
school teacher Terrance (Jason
Sylvain) whose priority is to be
the dad his father, Carl (Gregalan Williams, Remember the
Titans) never was. He allows his
freeloading ex-wife, of five
years, to continue living with
him for the sake of their son.
His best friend Omar (Dwayne
Boyd, The Gospel) is a scheming womanizer who tells what
ever lie he has to in order to
sleep with as many women as
possible. Everything is going
routine until Omar persuades
Terrance to go to a speed-dating
event hosted by the local radio
station. Hilarity ensues as the
two find themselves in sidesplitting predicaments with a host of
different women as they search
for love in this raucous romantic comedy. Also starring Pierre
(How To Be A Player), Grand
Hustle Recording artist Lil’
Duval, Ja’el Roberson and platinum recording artist Bobby
Valentino.
Grassroots Productions & Funding, LLC, (GPF), the Executive
Producers of the project, was
born out of seeing and observing some great independent
films with one major drawback.
These films were never able to
find their way to the general
public, because of a lack of
funding, or no funding at all.
The principals Gwen Bennett
and James Flournoy have been
in financing for several decades,
and interface with investors, that
were traditionally investors in
real estate and mortgages. Many
of these investors are looking for
alternative investment vehicles
