Good morning everyone,

Firstly I would like to thank everyone here for their support for this cause. This all started as spur of the moment action that has blossomed into something truly powerful. While the confederate monument still stands,  there is now a very moving tribute to Mr. Boseman standing in wren park for all to see. (Pictured below) This is a prime example of the power of collective action and what can be achieved when people come together. 

Since the petition I have continued my career in the film industry and have begun writing and directing film myself. After the success of this campaign I realized I had so much more to offer by solving the problem I see rather than simply accepting them. As a performer I was unsatisfied with the amount of opportunities for black actors and the quality of the roles these opportunities presented. I decided to solve this problem by writing and directing my own films. Much like the petition this was a spur of the moment thing that has now grown into one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done. What started as shooting on phones in my uncle’s backyard has now grown into my most ambitious project yet. I wanted to reach out to everyone to share about where life has taken me and this exciting new film

Leave it at my door is a new coming of age film about a struggling actor that is offered the role of lifetime across the country. With his funds low and time limited he has 24 hours to earn enough money to get to his next gig. This film is about young people trying to make it in a post pandemic world. The crappy jobs you take in your twenties, living at home and following your dreams

We made this film in collaboration with local artists, businesses, and we are relying  on this same grassroot support to get this film out to the public. We are launching this film today on you tube. Our goal is to get to 10k views by the end of month and with your help we will get there. You can watch the full film here Here https://youtu.be/-NkZhVlKtcs

Thank you for you time and I hope you enjoy the film,

DeAndre Weaver
