Premiere at Movies ATL in Atlanta, GA. July 23, 2009.........
5 Days in The A is a feature length, independent film, set in Atlanta,
GA, shot by Atlanta Dream Team Productions. Elementary school student
Zarad Williams guides you through five days in the life of his family and
neighborhood, the infamous Bluff section of Atlantas Bankhead area. Zarad
is enamored with his older brother Jamal Williams who sets an example as a
star athlete, gifted student, devoted boyfriend, involved family member and
social activist. However not everyone agrees with Zarad, especially Jamals
nemesis Brayden. Drama ensues as Braydens jealousy grows while Jamal
and his friends prepare for their High School graduation, end of the year
parties and college ambitions that will get them out of the Bluff and headed
into brighter futures. This film was made with both a cast and crew who were willing to take
extreme pay cuts, work long hours and take additional responsibilities for a
film everyone believed in. The performances reflect that passion and the films
quality, despite a marginal budget, were not compromised. This story of a
young man who embodies the American Dream and those who will never
know what the dream can be is a voice Atlanta has never had. Known as the
Hollywood of the South, Atlanta is the new face of great filmmaking untouched
by the Hollywood machine. 5 Days in the A reveals the souls of its
characters and will have you laughing, crying and wondering whats next. The
star studded cast includes; Warner Bros. Recording artist Diamond, BETs
College Hill star Dennis Goodman, Arista Records recording artist and VH1
reality star Bone Crusher, D-Lo Entertainments Rasheeda maker of the radio
smash hit Got That Good (my Bubble Gum), Young Jit formerly of
successful rap group Cash Camp, Chris Hollyfield a.k.a. The Devil on BETs
Hell Date and stand-up comic Clayton English of BETs Hell Date, TV1s Whos
Got Jokes and Tyler Perrys House of Payne. Directed by Henderson Mr. 23
Maddox, this gentlemans vision goes far beyond his 23 years and he has
created a directorial debut he can most certainly be proud of.
Nice work Mr23....I wish I were in Atlanta for the premiere. Fun working with you.
