The Bronzelens Film Festival is pleased to join AFFRM (African American Film Festival Releasing Movement) in presenting the Atlanta-area theatrical release of the film "I WILL FOLLOW", starring Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Omari Hardwick, Blair Underwood and Beverly Todd.

I received the above email and thought, why not, I'm an indie filmmaker, I should support this. Boy was I in for a surprise. I purchased two tickets for myself and my best friend Ciara, owner of Sublime Catering, and we attending the 8:05pm showing at Phipps Plaza. When we arrived we discovered we were fortunate enough to be at the showing where the actor Omari Hardwick of the film, a Georgia native, would be doing not only an introduction for the film but a Q&A afterwards. What a treat! Then the film came on.

An amazing tell of love and loss. We've all been here, trying to pick up the pieces after a close death in the family. The film brilliantly weaves together the affects of one woman's death from the perspective of her caregiver. Her Hollywood niece who dropped everything, her career and her man to tend to her favorite aunt. Of course no matter what you do there is always someone around to tell you what you should have done, enter the aunt's daughter. A roller coaster ride of emotions are unfolded with elegance and grace. A universal tale anyone can enjoy.
