Here's a second look at emerging filmmaker Chinonye Chukwu's short film, The Dance Lesson, for those who missed it. Chinonye is currently finishing up her first feature film Alaskaland (read about it HERE) which, based on her feedback, should be ready any day now. We're covering her filmmaking journey so expect to read an interview I had with her soon.

WAKE UP. Good Morning from Moscow. Wanna clear up some confusion about RED HOOK SUMMER. We are not shooting now, finished in August... Red Hook Summer is not a Sequel to Do The Right Thing and it has nothing to do with Brooklyn Loves MJ. Subject Matter? New Spike Lee Joint YO

Love him or hate him as a performer, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson continues to prove that he's determined to make himself an industry player, throwing his weight around around both in front of and behind the camera, financing, producing and acting. I can't say I'm a fan of anything he's done thus far cinematically, but he still has my attention, if only for the sheer effort he's been making to ensure himself as relevant in film as he's proven to be in music.

"As an actor I always try to do as many diverse roles as possible. I'd generally describe my career as a bit schizophrenic to be honest, because I never seem to be doing the same thing. I think it's the best way to be though, to play as many different roles as possible."
