L.A. festival screens Plainfielders' award-winning flick



Plainfield filmmakers Andy Burroughs and Lamar Mackson are taking their award-winning feature film 'Algeny' on the road -- specifically to be screened at the prestigious American Black Film Festival in Los Angeles this week.


The film won Best Feature at the Martha's Vineyard Film Festival in August. Here's the movie's synopsis --
Justin Thomas is a walking mystery. An orphan trying to make a life for himself in adulthood, he yearns to create the family he never had. But when he discovers the secrets of his past, his hopes for the future and his life are put in jeopardy.

Justin finds out that his body is an experiment that could change the nature of the world for good or ill. Those who want him will stop at nothing. The chase begins. When it ends, Justin will either assist mankind or help along its ultimate destruction. Which way will be a way out? Either way, his world will be forever changed in this all-too-present-day thriller.

If you're going to be in L.A. this weekend, be sure to check out the screening and hang out with our local celebrities.

If, like me, L.A. is not in your plans just now, check out the trailer on the film's website.

Loyal fans are anxiously awaiting a Plainfield screening.
