Newcomer Maurice Jamal's "Dirty Laundry" nominated for a 2008 NAACP Image Award!
Highlighting a banner year in Black film, the 39th Annual NAACP Image Awards were announced in Hollywood this morning and indie hit "Dirty Laundry" was nominated in the Best Independent Film Category. The loosely autobiographical film Written and Directed by newcomer Maurice Jamal, garnered rave reviews at film festivals and will be released in select cities January 18, 2008 by Codeblack Entertainment and FOX Pictures. The dramatic-comedy starring Rockmond Dunbar (Prison Break), Loretta Devine (This Christmas, First Sunday) Jenifer Lewis, Terri J. Vaughn and Sommore follows a traditional southern family dealing with the return of an estranged son and the many secrets he brings with him.
A disgraced former LAPD detective leads a home invasion in search of millions in stolen money. The plan goes awry and homicide detectives (Gabrielle Union, Giancarlo Esposito) seeking answers interrogate the only survivors; a thief and a victim. Through persistent questioning from the detectives, there lies a deeper motivation for the detectives – for one (Union), to amend her past mistakes as a rookie cop; for the other (Esposito), to cash in on a high-stakes offer from the mysterious mastermind behind the whole scheme.
Tune in today to watch Janet Jackson's highly anticipated Video Premiere for her smashing new single "Feedback" on BET's 106 & Park at 6pm EST and Yahoo at 7:30pm EST!
