"Stompin The Yard" written by a Bruh

[PerroLoco]

Screenwriter got his start at FAMU

As audiences across the country prepare to dance down the aisles to soon to be released pop culture movie "Stomp the Yard", the creation of the film's storyline has proven to be just as exhilarating. Conceived by writer Gregory Anderson in the mid 90's, the film is an ode to fraternities and sororities at Historically Black Universities. This has special resonance because while writing the original draft, Gregory was a student at FAMU where he and his classmates Rob Hardy and Will Packer (Producers of "Stomp the Yard") dreamed of making it in Hollywood. After college, Gregory worked on the script, as he produced independent films with Rob and Will, but eventually other projects took center stage. Gregory hoped one day they could bring that story to life. In 2004, when the opportunity arose for a possible movie to be made, Gregory, a member of Omega Psi Phi, quickly dusted off the script from his parent's garage. But, taking a script written about frat life in the 90's and giving it a new millennium spin proved to be another journey altogether. "I was inspired by Cameron Crowe; a powerful storyteller. I remembered he spent a year posing as a high school student in preparation for writing the movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Taking a cue from Crowe, Greg returned to FAMU to gain a deeper sense of authenticity as he rewrote the script. Next up for Gregory is the Warner Brothers / Asylum Records film "American Dream" which he produced as the President of Tri Destined Films. Stomp the Yard opens in theatres this Friday.
