Greetings
Menelik Shabazz, the award-winning filmmaker is known as one of the pioneers of Black British cinema. Please support his new adventure a musical theatre play THE AWAKEN ONE.
THE AWAKEN ONE is a story of JASON a young man who enters the spirit world of his ancestors who tells him stories that lead to his transformation and mission to become an guide/angel to help mankind. The story is told against the backdrop of young Black men in London and the USA who are killing themselves brutally. The play presents this theme in an original way by taking us into the twilight world of the African Ancestors where the past, present and future meet. There, Jason encounters Malcolm X, Dr Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey and the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt Akhenaton and Tutankhamen. These encounters make him reflect on his life and journey in both worlds.
There is a strong cast of actors who have all worked in film, TV and theatre. Including Angela Wynter (EastEnders), Victor Romero Evans (Burning An Illusion/Mark For Death), Lovers Rock singer Janet Kay (Silly Games).
Menelik is promoting this opportunity on the public donation website Indiegogo to build a community of support for this project because this way allows him to be free to express his vision. It also fits within his vision to involve a community of likeminded people in his work. Menelik's film THE STORY OF LOVERS ROCK was previous example of this and he wants to translate this experience into this project to keep this concept going.
There are several levels of affordable donations. Please take a moment to check it out on Indiegogo and also share it with your friends. All the tools are there.
