A message from Justice Singleton



Look at the cap Justice  is wearing, the same as her dad in Cannes 28 years ago at The Boyz n the Hood screening!.

 

We ended up organising this trip in less than a week discussing with Thierry Fremaux on top of th ered carpet and with help of Gerald Duchaussoy and Frédérique Ballion which i thank here warmly for all the great support. Justice flew from LA the very day of the memorial she had organized for her dad.

This is how Justice considered taking a trip to Cannes with an email message to me, after she found my article on filmfestivals.com on the work we did on Boyz'n the Hood.

I am happy to share this private conversation which ended up in having Justice fly, attend, give panels and walk the same path her dad took 28 years earlier. I think there is a message her for all young filmmakers... :-)

 

Hey Bruno! 

My dad talked about his experience at Cannes, friendships made during his trip. BOYZ N THE HOOD at Cannes twenty eight years later put a smile on my face and I know his spirit and soul are happy.

Not sure if Cannes has talent or plans someone attend, introduce or participate in a Q&A on Thursday, 5/23.  Is there any world where Cannes would allow me to attend and participate in person. As a film lover, filmmaker and daughter I would love to be apart of this conversation.

Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Again thank you for keeping my dad's legacy in the forefront of true auteurs minds.

All the best

Justice Singleton
