01/13/10- Detroit Filmmaker Opens Door for Profit Sharing for Local Businesses

After writing, producing and directing his first feature film, Five.K.One, Dionciel “Donny” Armstrong has caught the attention of many key Hollywood players.  Working under major time constraints, solid determination and meticulous persistence, 2008 marked the beginning of a new era for Armstrong with the completion of the film.

Having garnered serious interest from several major film and distribution companies, including The Weinstein Company, Code Black and Loose Cannon, Armstrong elected to bypass the deals being presented to him.

“I didn’t feel comfortable doing a deal with a company while the industry is at risk and experiencing difficulties,” Armstrong stated. “I feel that I would be more effective staying independent. Though I do have great actors who are often seen in major films coming out of Hollywood, I don’t have ‘A-List’ actors.  I didn’t want to get shelved and pushed to the side.” 

In the spirit of independence, he has opted to enlist unique lifestyle outlets, such as barber shops and clothing stores, to become retail partners thus providing a legitimate and profitable means for them to be directly involved in the film business. 

“These businesses are often used by illegitimate sources, like bootleggers, because they have a built in customer base.  When they allow these ‘sources’ to come into their shops and sell directly to their customers, they don’t profit from the exchange. The client gets a substandard product and the bootlegger gets all the cash!” he explained. 

“I have created a solid business model to work hand in hand with these outlets to provide a direct link to the film industry.  It will provide a great, profitable platform for them to benefit from professionally released films (and music) and tap into all the perks that the ‘usual’ outlets receive. I’m working with them to become ‘go to’ businesses; not just as promotional outlets but legitimate vendors.  It creates a win-win situation. 

Five.K.One will premier on Jan. 28 @ 6pm at the Star Theater. Visit www.fivekone.com. 

01/12/09- FrontPage Celebrates Academic Excellence with 2nd Annual Project NEXT Bash

Detroit- (January 2010) The FrontPage is back with the 2nd Annual Project NEXT Bash! After a stellar breakout year that saw honor roll students turn out in impressive numbers to celebrate education and academic excellence at the Palace of Auburn Hills, we have launched the 2010 PNB School Tour amidst much excitement and high expectations.  
 

In its continuing effort to empower young minds, the Project NEXT initiative was created to help propel high school and middle school students toward academic excellence.

The Project NEXT Bash is a major concert event that will take place at the end of the 2010 school year to reward students who maintain a 3.0 grade point average or higher. This initiative will serve to reward students who maintain honor roll status while motivating and encouraging those who fall outside of these parameters to focus and try harder.

Local artists such as Boi, Dollah Jones, Newland, Roc Stea’D and Vina Mills have dedicated themselves to this movement by participating in an extensive high school and middle school music tour that will introduce the program to the students in an exciting way while giving them a preview of what they can look forward to at the end of the year concert event.

“The students and staff enjoyed the performance,” stated Cheryl L. Williams, Earhart Middle School Counselor. “Well-known top notch entertainers were selected to excite and motivate students. After the performance many of the students expressed an interest in improving their grades.”

“Our students thoroughly enjoyed the entertainers; specifically the educational message from them was very encouraging. It helped them to realize that having an education can also mean being able to pursue a fun dream career,” said Hancock Curriculum Coordinator Henry Averbuch.

This event was designed to set the pace for the not only the remainder of the school year, but it also serves to give students and teachers alike an added incentive to set and maintain academic goals throughout the year.

This program is open to all Michigan high schools and middle school students in grades 6-12.
