His tribute to the perseverance of a cultural tradition "WHAT BLACK MEN THINK", took nine months to complete. The testimonials of the current participants in this event, and their poignant recollections of those past, inspired the need to record the dynamics and significance of a heritage that is slowly being forgotten. He states “That I would have to make a film, just to prove that black men are not in the dire state that most media outlets would have you believe, demonstrates the confusion that exists in our community today”.
