Sorors & Fraters,
I am very pleased to share with you some GOOD NEWS!!! Westchester Alumnae Chapter's Melanie Williams-Oram is being recognized once again for her short film "Shook". Melanie is a long time resident of Greenburgh and is known by many of you on the Council. Some of you also had the opportunity to screen her film about HIV/AIDS during Westchester Alumnae's May Week 2004 activities. Well apparently, the folks at Showtime Network think that if its good enough for Delta it is definitely good enough for them
"Shook" has been selected to air as part of the Showtime Black Filmmaker Showcase!!!!!!
Here are the airdates:
Showtime on Tues. 2/1 @ 10PM
Showtime Too on Wed. 2/2 @ 9PM
Showcase on Thurs. 2/3 @ 8PM
You can find out additional time by going to
www.sho.com and typing in SHOOK or by typing The Black Filmmaker Showcase. The times above reflect when they're going to air all of the films in the Black Filmmaker Showcase but there will be times when they just show SHOOK as well. SHOOK is in the number 3 spot when they air all of the Black Filmmaker Showcase participants of 2005. Also, look for an interview of Soror Williams-Oram and intro when they air the film as part of the Showcase line-up.
SHOOK is a finalist in the Black Filmmaker Showcase and it will air exclusively on Showtime for the next 2 years and then non- execlusiviely for the next 8 years.
