NewMovie: Dirty Laundry

Nathan Hale is a very good friend of mine and former junior high and high school classmate (Go Whitney Young Dolphins!!!).  This weekend, his movie Dirty Laundry opens in New York and Los Angeles.  It opens in other select cities nationwide (including Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Baltimore) December 28th.  DIRTY LAUNDRY is a modern-day prodigal son story with a twist. It follows magazine writer Patrick, masterfully played by Rockmond Dunbar (Prison Break, Soul Food), who seems to have the "perfect life," until one day there is a knock at the door. On the other side stands a secret that brings him face to face with the traditional southern family he hasn't seen in over 10 years. 

The cast includes a colorful array of character and comedic actors including Loretta Devine (Waiting to Exhale) as "Evelyn", Jenifer Lewis (Antwone Fisher Story, Castaway) as "Aunt Lettuce", Terri J. Vaughn (Daddy’s Little Girls, Steve Harvey Show) as "Jackie", Sommore (Queens of Comedy, The Parkers) as "Abby", Alec Mapa (Ugly Betty) as "Daniel" and Director Maurice Jamal as "Eugene"

DIRTY LAUNDRY is the winner of the 2006 American Black Film Festival Audience Award for "Best Film" and "Best Actor - Loretta Devine."
