Please support my cousins first cinematic short, "The B Word," under their newly formed production company, Celistan & Co Films. They are more than half way to their $5,000 goal. So proud of them! A message about the project below:
“THE B WORD” is a cinematic short narrative depicting two sisters on conflicting paths; both leading to a destructive cycle of fear, blame and uncertainty. The story is set around the disease of “Bulimia Nervosa”, and how it’s debilitating factors can transform a sisterly bond into one of dysfunction; ultimately becoming unhealthy and toxic. This short is a fictionalized take on a growing epidemic in our community that has yet to be addressed on a grand scale.
The estimated cost to produce the “The B Word” is $5,000. Of course, in order to bring this groundbreaking and socially conscious short to the masses, we need your help. We setup a Kickstarter campaign and invite you to generously donate to our project. Please understand in order to bring this effort to the community, we need your help and support; any funding or awareness you can contribute is appreciated. In order to receive the requested amount of $5,000, we must reach or exceed our goal. All monies will be used for production cost such as gear, crew, locations, etc.Awareness is priceless. “The B Word” hopes to start a conversation in the African-American community regarding bulimia. Gone is the time where we ignore the “elephant” in the room. Too long have we ignored our physical and mental health issues while eradicating our youth and children’s futures. Please donate to a cause close to our hearts and lets begin to start the conversation.

"Thoughts on an Airplane Napkin"
So fucking noisy
The chatty 20-something's surrounding on this plane
Chatter on and on about their happy go lucky lives
Phil can't wait to surprise his girlfriend in Atlanta
And Kat just got promoted at her job...
The plane bounces along
Engine roars outside my window
Sun beams in my eyes
But no sound louder than the thoughts clouding my mind
I hate feeling anxious.
Only certain people have this affect on me
Or should I say person
The plane makes its bouncy descent down the runway
We're up next
And next for me is reuniting with you
The same you who still has the ability to make me feel
after all this time,
... against my will.
Because my will isn't free with you
It's been nine months since I've touched your skin
And as I sit here writing this
I can't help but wonder will it feel the same?
What will I say,
What will you say?
Our conversations have been few and far between as of late
I'm to blame.
It seemed easier to run from you then to be sucked back into your web
But here I am.
On this plane.
Waiting.
Walking a thin line,
knowing there's a chance I can get tangled up again
Waiting.
to travel clear across the country
In search of a break from the reality that's overwhelmed me
Because that's all it'll be
Distraction...
Or will it?
A taste of a fantasy
long shot down
a coma
But it's still breathing..
Lift off.
