Bio

I'm mulit-talented, young and intelligent. I'm here to spread the word about this hot new movie called, "She Wasn't Last Night!!"

I'm asking that all spread the word about this hot new movie called, "She Wasn't Last Night." We want to get the word out about this film in hopes of pushing it all the way to the top and beyond. The production company that is doing the film is called, Griot Soul Films. Griot Soul Films, is a not for profit film organization interested in producing and dissimenating complex literary and historical images of African descendants and providing community members with the tools to do the same. We are currently in the process of getting our 501c3 status and are fundraising to produce the first Black Lesbian Romantic Comedy. We'd love to advertise your organization as well at our site and discuss other ways we might partner in terms of community service in the future. Also, all sponsors will be credited in the film.

We also ask that you join our online community @ Ning.com to support our cause. Just go to Ning.com and type in the search field (She Wasn't Last Night) and add yourself as a member to our group. If you have any questions....any at all....feel free to contact me via e-mail @: www.myspace.com/lashandanicole or on Ning.com and I will be more then happy to answer your questions. If you want me to call you, just leave your telephone number in my inbox and I will give you a call. Thanks for your support! See press release below:

"THE L-WHO?" ASKS "SHE WASN'T LAST NIGHT" CREW

(Oakland, CA) Mix "The L-Word" and "Waiting to Exhale" into a deep,
soulful masala, and you'll find yourself getting more than a little
warm.

Have you heard about the independent film "She Wasn't Last Night?"
Sensually tipping the velvet hat to a song by Meshell Ndegeocello, the
title of this, the first black lesbian romantic drama-comedy, bespeaks
more depth than you may assume.

"She Wasn't Last Night" follows the subtly solid and beautiful Shantel
Crockett as her feelings of safety in her 3-year-relationship are
shattered. She discovers her girlfriend Reyna, the troubled ingenue 10
years her junior, isn't so happy after all. Enter charming-and- fine
Jack, the town player, who has her sights set on wrecking Reyna and
Shantel's house--for good.

Slated for an October 2007 filming, as the story of the movie "She
Wasn't Last Night" unfolds, so, too does the story of Griot Soul
Films, a nonprofit organization in the making. Courageous and
talented, Griot Soul Films' Founder/Director Darice Jones and
producer Sanjay Sooknanan have already held a staged reading for the
community, and all attendees, regardless of gender, race, or
orientation, have found the film to appeal to the universal truth in
all of us: everybody needs love...real love. And players? Well, they
deserve to play! More community events, an indie soundtrack, and film
fundraisers are scheduled in the coming weeks and months.

Griot Soul Films does not save the drama for your mama! In fact, our
cast is made up of an eclectic group of social activists, artists,
educators, professional actors, beginning actors, and even an
engineer. Common to all of these strong women is a heartfelt
commitment to storytelling coupled with the talent and dedication to
tell this story well. Our diverse cast is 100% African descended,
majority LGBTQ, and 100% supportive of the creation of complex film
images of Black people throughout the Diaspora.

Won't you help be a part of this cutting-edge filmic revolution of the
heart? Get involved by subscribing to our mailing list, visiting and
becoming a member at shewasntlastnight.ning.com or just go to Ning.com
and type in the search field, (she wasn't last night) and click on the site
and don't forget to spread the word!
