Citizen James

If something different is the goal of this movie, Doug E. Doug has hit "pay dirt". This movie is about a bored, young black `wanna be' movie maker. The character, played by Doug E. Doug, who also stared in the last Cosby sitcom in real life, has decided to make a movie about Angela Davis but has no money or clue how to get started. Miraculously, he finds a thugs money and uses it to finance his endeavor. Before finding this money, he wrote to Bill Cosby asking that he sponsor his project since Bill had donated to other worthy causes. Of course the thug discovers who found his money and takes the appropriate action. There is low level humor and suspense in this movie as well as interest. It all comes together in the end.

I was the Boom Mic man for this film. It was made in the summer of 1995 in and all over Central Brooklyn, NYC (The Historic "Slave Theater", Bed Stuy, Brownsville, etc.

Doug E Doug was very funny and very talented. My father loved him in "Hanging with the Homeboys" and would always tell me how good that movie was. Cool Runnungs was also a very good film.

Doug E Doug had me laughing so hard in many of the scenes, that I was struggling to hold the Boom still! The lead female was beautiful as anything and I wonder if she's done any films since. (I also met this fine honey on the last day of filming). What a memorable experience!

One of these days I hope to actually see the finished product!
