Dame "the Drummer" Taylor is proud to announce the Purple Carpet Premiere of Black Daddy: The Movie, this June 19th in Oakland California. This premiere will include a reception and film viewing, followed by a question and answer session with the cast and filmmaker.
Movie Synopsis:
“Black Daddy: The Movie” is unadulterated storytelling from the black father's point of view because it is often overlooked due to the assumption that black fathers are not involved in their children's lives. It is a passion project covering a space and purpose that is near to our hearts: black fatherhood. It follows the lives of a few like-minded men as they tell compelling stories of the joy, pain and the complexity and triumph in what it means to be a black father in America. The project has original music by Dame Drummer and new music in collaboration with other Oakland-based musicians Mike Blankenship, Kev Choice, Grand Nationxl, Karega Bailey, and Michael Austin to name a few. This event coincides with "Black Daddy: The Brunch" happening on Saturday, June 18th at Kingston 11 Cuisine. Brunch tickets available on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-daddy-the-weekend-brunch-tickets-352918076467
THE PREMIERE AFTER PARTY will be held in Jack London Square. FREE for our premiere attendees (no need to purchase an after party ticket).
G/A (non premiere attendees) $10 . Location will be released day of the event.
