Anthony R Page, pictured here with Director Aaron Spellz.  I got a chance to attend a private screening of the film P.I.G.S. last weekend. All I can say is that this is one helluva movie. Executive Producer/ Writer/Director AARON SPELLZ pulled together a phenomenal group of talent and crew to make a legendary film. It's the kind of project that can launch a career. And I suspect for a few in the cast and crew, it will do just that. I am grateful for the opportunity to play a supporting acting role as the character PEANUT (love this character). The film will be hitting the festival circuit soon, so if you hear about it..make the effort to check it out...of course, I will keep you informed.  Some of the Actors from the film P.I.G.S. Pictured here (L-R) are Joey Thurmond, Anthony R.

A Review of Adira Dela Croix 6.0 by Edward Fairley III (Originally published in The Clayton State University Campus Newspaper) In a world full of stories about the struggle of the average African American to find their place in a country that doesn't see them, Adira Dela Croix 6.0 opts to take a much more unique approach by flipping the coin.  Set in the future in 2096, we come to see a world where Texas has become a separate country, there are colonies on the moon in desperate need of resources, and the most pressing social issue on the table is that of "machine rights".  The Cast of Adira Dela Croix 6.0 (L-R) Dante Sellers, Devin A. Shaw, and Tatiyana Mixon. Our eye into one side of this issue is Denton Dela Croix, a tribal leader (according to the bio) who has found himself falling in love with his android assistant Adira. He spoils her, treating her as if she were his wife (with whom we later find he is divorced) giving her everything from an expensive new upgrade to...
