The Real Man Film Production
Donation protected
We are Darryl Dillard and Cathy Reinking and we've written a script together that is close to our experiences and is very topical right now. In fact, the urgency to make this film is getting stronger and stronger with each passing day.
Between the two of us, we have 57 years of experience in the Entertainment Industry. We've done everything from sweeping the floors in a regional theater to casting Emmy-winning TV shows ("Frasier", "Arrested Development"). Acting credits include TV, indie film, theater, educational touring shows, web series, commercials, you name the medium, we've done it. Now our attention is toward telling our own stories, which are personal and yet also examine media images...
THE REAL MAN tells the story of a black actor who vows to only play uplifting roles. After discovering he can't make a living this way, he decides to break his own rules and accept negative stereotypes as well as one-dimensional parts. As he becomes successful with each new dark role, he begins to jeopardize the strong relationship he has with the love of his life, Laura.
"THE REAL MAN is a harsh, yet hilarious slice of reality!" -The 10th Annual Harlem International Film Festival
The script recently won Best Script at Urban Mediamakers Film Festival in Atlanta as well as Best Short Script at the 10th Annual Harlem International Film Festival.
This film must be made NOW. Please join us in our journey to make this film and share it with the world, as it tells the story of everyone, not just a black man in Hollywood. ALL FUNDS WILL GO TOWARD THE MAKING OF THIS FILM, which includes pre-production, production, post, and film festival submissions.
