We’ve posted an exciting new addition to the website: John’s bios for many of the characters in Honeydripper, ranging from Tyrone ‘Pinetop’ Purvis to Zeke, the liquor truck driver. It’s a great resource for learning about the story and setting, as well as the writing process.
Individual character bios are linked off the Cast page, or you can browse through all of them in the Character Bios category. More bios will be posted in the next few days.
Honeydripper has been nominated for two NAACP Image Awards: Outstanding Independent or Foreign Film, and Outstanding Writing in a Motion Picture.
From the press release:
The NAACP Image Awards honors projects and individuals that promote diversity in the arts in television, recording, literature and motion pictures. The theme of this year’s show is “Stand Up and Be Counted.” During this crucial election year, the NAACP encourages everyone to be socially conscious and take a stand on critical human and civil rights issues.
This year, over 1,200 entries were received. From those entries, a special committee of 300 industry professionals and NAACP leaders from across the country selected five nominees in each of 44 categories. Any artist, manager, publicist, production company, record label, studio, network or publishing house could submit an entry to the NAACP Image Awards. The final selections are voted on by NAACP members, and winners will be announced during the live airing of the 39th NAACP Image Awards.
