On June 27, 2019 at the Angelika Film Center & Cafe in Dallas, TX... Gentlemen Jack presents the #RealToReel festival! Real To Reel celebrates new African American voices in film. This event was extremy eye opening and inspiring! Learning about the up and coming (Black) filmmakers and to watch their stories come to life was beautiful, intricate art. This year, three filmmakers were selected to display their work in the cinema, followed by a panel discussion featuring actor Lance Gross.
Through film, viewers met J. Rhodes; a music producer from Oak Cliff, Texas, who directed “Metronome.” The short film takes us back in time during certain events the producer experienced. From creating beats in a living room, to sitting in award ceremonies with other producers, and back to current moments. The visual, mostly filled with music, takes viewers down a spiral of pivotal timeline of the producers journey.
Viewers also met Cydell Addison, who is from Louisiana and completed film school in Burbank, CA. Her short film “Conflicted” was about the struggles her father faced while living in New Orleans, becoming a police officer, trying to provide for his family, and also protect his mother. The financial struggles he found himself in, ultimately led him to turn to the streets. Hustling was the best way out of his bind, as the story ends in a “to be continued” closure.
Lastly, viewers met Chris Guinn from Atlanta, TX. Chris studied Mass Communication at Texas State University. “Black Trump Card” is the title of his short film. The complex, yet intriguing film pulled viewers in, because no one knew what was going to happen next! In the film, Black influencers were bribed financially by the government to tell stories of Trump that would help him win the election. This storyline was extremely captivating and thought provoking, one may think the events took place, then again... did it happen?
During the panel discussion, attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions to the directors and Lance Gross. While a lot of advice was shared across the room for aspiring actors and directors, a viewer asked Lance Gross “How does he pick scripts?” He answered,
“I always look for material that’s going to challenge me. I look for projects that move me, because, so often we (Black people) get really bad scripts.” -Lance Gross
While this is true, independent directors are being given the opportunity to showcase their art, their story, and their truths on the #RealToReel platform. Gentlemen Jack has created this event to shine light on the rising filmmakers and I look forward to what these creatives will do in the future—

It’s Another Badu Birthday!
THEE most anticipated event, a holiday, and a celebration would happen on the evening of February 23, 2019!  It’s another Badu birthday! This will be my 3rd year attending the celebration and every year it gets more beautiful than the last. The first time I attended the event in 2017, I was still living in Indiana and I flew to Dallas for ONE day to join the festivities. I absolutely LOVE Erykah Badu!
If you’ve ever attended the event, it’s best to get there early. This year, I wasted no time. Arriving at nearly 3p, there was already a line formed. Doors didn’t open until 7p and the show wouldn’t start til 8p. I sat in my car, charged all of my devises until about 5:30p and made my way to a line that was already wrapped around the building. Thankfully, someone was “holding my spot” :-)
THE VENUE:
The Bomb Factory is located in Deep Ellum of Dallas, TX. This has been the venue for the event over the last few years. Upon walking into the venue, there’s a massive open space with a bar area to the right. There’s a balcony as well. The stage sits straight ahead where there’s a giant projector screen behind it. The slides are usually animated images of Erykah; there are some videos that play while she performs certain songs. Depending on whose performing, their stage name is plastered on it. I’ve even seen screensaver-like images that move so fast they make your eyes cross.
OPENING ARTISTS:
Previously, Badu has been known to give the stage to Dallas locals and even hip-hop legends like Scarface and Yasiin Bey (Mos Def). This year, there were two opening acts and a number of surprise guests. The acts included Houston rapper: Tobe Nwigwe. Hitting the stage in black basketball shorts, a black hoodie, Nike slides with tube socks. I thought.. This is pretty casual attire for such an amazing event–Nevermind me, because he blew the crowd away! Performing an ode to Erykah Badu and Dave Chappelle titled “I’m Dope.” The lyrics include, “My mama thought I was a joke, but Ms. Badu (Dave Chappelle) told me I’m dope. Yeah, I’m dope.” –And then...the unexpected happened. ERYKAH BADU surprised him on stage! How incredible is that?
Although, he and “The Originals” came out after the first group, the opening act would be another band out of Houston, Texas. They are called Khruangbin which is “Engine Fly” in Thai. This 3 person band includes a bassists; Laura Lee, a guitarist; Mark Spencer, and a drummer; Donald Johnson. They can also be seen on The Tiny Desk video series.  The 60s influenced, soul and psychedelia group, graced the stage in noticeably thick bangs, playing instrumentals of OBD’s “Baby, I Got Your Money” and The Luniz “I Got 5 On It.”

ERYKAH TAKES THE STAGE: 
It’s after 11p and the Queen of Neo-Soul is going to grace the stage at any moment. I look around and The Bomb Factory is packed out! There’s not enough room for anyone to do anything, except breathe at this point. The air smells of cannabis and beer. The stage is full of fog and the slides on the projector come to a stop. The musicians take their places on stage, vocalists come in after them, and suddenly it’s quiet. Dave Chappelle is one of Erykah’s longtime friends. He’s been to every one of the parties since I’ve attended. He introduces her to the stage and mentions that the event is like a church he attends once a year. Despite the recent backlash Badu received for expressing her love for R&B artist; R. Kelly, it didn’t stop those who support her from celebrating with her. The subject is an uncomfortable one, but her stance is LOVE. Period. 
ERYKAH is here! Taking robotic steps to the mic, the crowd begins to scream. Erykah is wearing a dark colored jumpsuit and a cream top hat. She opens with “Hello” from the  “But You Caint Use My Phone” album she released in 2015. This is how she welcomes us into this mystical and psychedelic whirlwind we’re about to experience- I’d compare it to the Alice In Wonderland fall. When Alice goes to the hole and says “My.. What a peculiar place to have a party,” and she falls? I imagine my fall having a mix of Erykah’s music with a few echos of her advice in the background to avoid crashing? Too deep? LOL 
In her intro, she introduces herself with “I’m Erykah Badu, also know as Maria Manuela, also known as Badoula, also known as Sarah Bellum, also known as Analogue Girl in a Digital World, also known as Fat Belly Bella, also known as SHE ILL, also known as Maria Mexico” ...and 142 other Characters.
She performed a series of songs (in no order), including “Out My Mind, Just In Time” and “Window Seat” from the New Amerykah, Pt. 2: Return of the Ankh album. “Next Lifetime,” “Rimshot,” from the Baduizm album, and “Kiss Me on My Neck” from the Mama’s Gun album just to name a few. 
SURPRISE! 
Erykah is performing and is surprised with a 3 tier cake, followed by her friends and family coming to the stage. The concert sorta morphed into a jam session. Tobe Nwigwe and Dave Chappelle reappear on stage,  (THEE) Talib Kweli appears on stage as well (check out my blog on the Radio Silence Tour) Kweli performs “Get By” from the Quality album and “The Blast” from the Reflection Eternal- Train of Thought album. Everyone’s going back and forth with “Hot 16′s.” Like... this is dope. The vibe is so dope. This is where the show gets  a litter more special. Performances go from rapping to singing and Durand Bernarr is given the mic. Durand is one of Erykahs BGVs, but is an artist in his own right. He performs Bobby Caldwell's “What You Won’t Do For Love” while incorporating his own song, “Fuck N*gga Free” :-) #SaaangDurand 
Erykah Badu got the mic, continued singing the song, then Dave Chappelle got a mic, breaking the music. He gives a speech, stating he’s not a ‘church n*gga” and he starts singing “Never Would’ve Made It” by Marvin Sapp to Erykah.  Suddenly, the audience is a massive gospel choir. The lyrics include, “Never would’ve made it, never could’ve made it without you.. I would’ve lost it all, but now I see how you were there for me. I’m stronger, I’m wiser, I’m better, much better..” She sheds a few tears as he continues with the song. Like... Dave Chappelle was really singing! 
THE END: 
 A few noticeable faces graced the stage, including Willow and Jada Smith. Erykah Badu’s children; Seven, her son with OutKasts Andre 3000.  Puma, her daughter with rapper The D.O.C., and Mars, her daughter with Jay Electronica appeared as well.  The party came to a close with beautiful words from Erykah stating, “Don’t grow up, it’s a trap. Stay young, stay fresh, stay new, stay creative, stay loving, stay compassionate, stay honest. Don’t follow these other mfers, especially mad mfers!”—As her speech is interrupted by confetti. 
I’m so happy I could attend #AnotherBaduBirthday and I’m thankful for the gift Erykah shared with us. Thank you, Queen. Happy birthday!

HIATUS KAIYOTE graced the city of Dallas on 9.7.22 at the Echo Lounge!
This was a show I couldn’t miss, although I traveled to Denver to see them in April, they were in my backyard on Thursday! 😂
The doors were scheduled to open at 7p, but when I arrived around 6p, there was already a line formed, of course. Thanks to my lovely LiveNation family, I entered the establishment early as a VIP. ❤️ While waiting for the theatre to open, I had a cocktail and French fries while chopping it up with Mariah-The most friendly bartender ever!
The doors flew open and I took my place in front of the stage. I’ve never been to this venue before, however, it was very beautiful and modern in architecture and design. It was very dark (I didn’t like that so much). My recordings of this show are extremely dark—
There was a slight delay, but Nai Palm called it “fuckery.” The band opened with “Rose Water” and as soon as “And We Go Gentle” was played, everyone lost their shit! This is the most amazing track on the Mood Valiant album. It’s really the song I have an emotional connection to. 😩
Be sure to check out my IG: AntaniaShanae to see more clips from this amazing show!
