A Bulldog Family Season 2

A Bulldog Family Season 2 is here!

Julius, Evelyn, Tonya, Curtis and Terrence return and the stakes are higher as Curtis takes some drastic actions to prove to his father who he is!

This short film series for Alabama A&M is the culmination of a collaboration with J.Two productions and myself. The goal is to hype up the Bulldog fanbase and to create a sense of pride within the student body & alumni. Ultimate the most important goal is to uplift the AA&MU brand and convey the level of quality of education and experience you will have attending the school.

This iteration of a Bulldog Family was influence by the hit tv show “Atlanta” and is a cohesive story that stretches over the course of 3 episodes that were released as a lead into the Magic City Classic which is the rivalry week game against Alabama State University.

ENJOY!!

As We Are

Women’s Foundation of the South is an organization created to support women of color led non-profits in the south who are typically underfunded. The work they do is often unheralded and consumes their lives and time.

As We Are highlights the efforts and commitment of these women and the impact they’re making and how Women’s Foundation for the South introduced the “radical” idea of REST as a fundamental aspect of their own life and survival.
