how are you seeing this?

my younger brother was in the film. He played John John's friend from New York, the one that throws rocks at Zeola. Where did you see this on television; where are you people from? As I recall, I went to two small film festivals, one in Jackson, one in Memphis, and then I thought it died. I noticed recently at my local video store that this could be rented on DVD. Any information on who's distributing this would be appreciated. Also, what do you think of my brother? Be honest.

This lady that i know got me the tape because her grandson played John and she recorded the movie when it came on t.v. I am from Jackson and I think it came on the lifetime movie network a few times from what i heard. I'm not sure who distributed it though, sorry. By the way i thought ur brother did a really good job

I would really like to see this movie, if for no other reason because Hadda Brooks has a part[Pianist and Singer}. What video store has it for rent? Please and Thank-you

This movie was distributed to Lifetime Movie Network under the name "I'll Wave Back". I saw this by error while surfing the other evening. I played Mother Shoe in the movie. It can be purchased on DVD or rented.

Just saw a picture of you and your brother in the Madison County Herrald with regard to the Japanese exchange program. He did a very credible job in the film. Is he thinking of pursuing any other acting credits?

Thank you for your kind words. Benji hasn't pursued acting in a long time, but is currently running tech in a documentary I'm filming. Again, thank you for the information; we'll keep an eye out for "I'll wave back."
