Suspense

After the overwhelming response from the first set of stills from “Truth,” here is the next set. In this image Amera (J’Nara Corbin) is accompanied by her cousin Tammy (Miste Roule). The question that comes to mind is what are they looking at?

Here Jay (Maurice Murrell) and Omar (Bry’Nt) seem to be having a intense conversation. We are dying to know what is going on. We can’t wait until Spring 2010!

Out and About

The cast and crew of Finding Me, and “Truth” were out this weekend for the QBC Festival in Harlem. After the screening the audience got a special treat. They got to view an exclusive clip from the upcoming sequel. The fans reaction was great right along with the cast who had never seen the clip either. Although some of you weren’t there the exclusive clip will be shown here in early 2010.

Don’t call it a Comeback

Pictures can sometimes be misleading. After the leak of the first Promotional Photo of Lonnie and Faybien people have been speculating that the two former love birds are back together. Well that may not be the case. Insiders from the Finding Me camp have told use that the two may acutally be with other people in “Truth.” With a little digging we were able to find a possible answer to this burning question.

Will newcomer Eli (Marcell Gumbs) pull Faybien away from Lonnie? You’ll have to wait until Spring of 2010 to find out the answers to all of these questions. Stay tuned folks!

The Chase?

What are Faybien (RayMartell Moore) and Jay (Maurice Murrell) doing together, and more importantaly what are they running from?

Now this will answer the question or add another question, like is Omar (Bry’Nt) chasing them or running from something as well. Either way Finding Me seems to be bringing the excitement in “Truth!”

Finish The Film Campaign

Dear Finding Me fans and friends,
We would like to thank you for all your support, accolades and your presence during the filming of Finding Me and Finding Me: Truth. Finding Me was successful in ways we had never imagined. Showing in over twenty cities, several international festivals including the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film festival, Reel Affirmations 18, Cinema St. Louis, and screening on several islands in Spain.
We believe in the story so much that we decided to do a sequel, this was a massive undertaking. We hired a kickass production team, recruited some new bright talent. Finding Me: Truth will reveal that we have listened to our fans and critics and attempted to make a quality film that looks and sounds 100% better than the first.
The talent spent hours during the summer weeknights and weekends making this production the best of many from OmeProductions.
With that being said, we have accrued a considerable amount of debt and have been operating in the red for several months. To date we have suspended filming. We have an almost finished product that we know you will love more than the first. Today we ask you to consider taking your support and commitment of Finding Me to the next level. We are launching our FINISH THE FILM CAMPAIGN!
We are asking everyone that loves Finding Me to support us today with a DONATION of  $7.00! Yes, you are reading the amount correctly $7.00. We ask that you take the time today and consider how your $7.00 can change our project’s life. OmeProductions goal is to make films for the community, and so we are hoping the community can help us out a little. If you choose to DONATE please leave us your information so that your name will run in the credits, and also so you can receive a signed postcard image of Lonnie and Faybien by the two actors. We hope to hear from you soon, and always thank you for your support.

Yours truly
Sontaia P.Briggs
Production Manager
