Do you guys remember the movie I worked on as costume designer last year this time?  Well, "The Coalition" premiered this past weekend in Miami at the ABFF (American Black Film Festival).  Unfortunately, I was unable to attend (I hear my name looked FABULOUS on the big screen, LOL), but it was a MAJOR success (both showings sold out)!
All in part to the creative talent of Team Sizzle Films, Inc. headed by Executive Producer, Writer Terrell Suggs of the Baltimore Ravens (NFL Defensive Player of the Year) and my friend and blogger Monica Mingo (Producer, Directer, Writer).

Here is the synopsis:  

The bad boys club is really not all that bad. Young, rich and handsome...the boys know how to have a good time. They love women, fast cars and doing whatever they want to do. There comes a time in life, however, when karma is helped along. When it's done by a group of scorned women...it can prove to be devastating.

Starring: ADRIENNE BAILON, JACKEE’ HARRY, J.R. RAMIREZ, DENYCE LAWTON, EDDIE GOINES, NICOLE GARZA, SHANTI LOWRY, NADINE ELLIS,  INGRID CLAY,  SATU MAKEDA, SANT’E ANDREWS, CHANTA NOEL PATTON, AND INTRODUCING JAMES PHILLIPS.

Here's the official trailer!

During Week 2, we shot scenes with the fabulous Adrienne Bailon of The Cheetah Girls! She is much tinier than she looks on tv and in print. It was like dressing a doll!
