at 3:17 in this clip, I'm the slave with the afro and no shirt on in Julie Dash's "Daughters of the Dust." It was a trip seeing this. The tiny woman slave is my then girlfriend Lorna. The lead male is one of my best friends, Adisa who mentored me when I was a teenager. The director is a friend from my High School days. She was going to UCLA at that time. This was/is a landmark film.

I have this movie. Bought it way back in the '90s. Excellent movie.

I worked on it for a good while. Julie made me do that part. Hurricane Hugo postponed the shoot as it struck once we started shooting. Shot on the South Carolina Sea Islands near Beaufort.

Sounds like a great time to have experienced. (tu)
I've thought about starting a "claim to fame" thread but wouldn't have much to share.
