Update #12: Thank YOU!
Peace!
Update #10: $20,000 and Beyond...
Yes, we did it, and we would like to be the first to congratulate...all of you! It was the strength in numbers that got this project funded and closer to production. Individually we are unique drops of water, but together we are an ocean with currents and stream that move throughout the world, containing all forms of life forms and thoughts. So we salute you.
But we are not finished! We still have a little over 2 days to keep going. More funding will help us get more done: Casting directors, wardrobe, props, etc. The more we have, the more we can dedicate to "...The Harder They Fall". So please, encourage people to give if they can, and once again, pat yourselves on the back. We all did it.
Happy Thanksgiving, enjoy your families and travel safe.
Peace
"...The Harder They Fall" Kickstarter team: Kim Jackson, Daoud Abeid, Natalie Marsan, Kate Tedesco & Dahkil Hausif

Well done, Sunshowah and as you say, all of us! Good stories are born to be told and we need to put them out there. It's the time for Latin America and the Caribbean to change history, and help the world become a better place. We have stories to tell that can make a difference. Thanks for telling this one.

Congratulations Daoud. I knew you would do it. I know that this beautiful story "soon come" as we say in Jamaica.

Project By
Connected as Dahkil Hausif (1866 friends)
Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, is home to Daoud Abeid and Dahkil Hausif, founders of Sunshowah Films. Abeid and Hausif formed Sunshowah in the year 2000 out of a need to counteract the one-dimensional images depicting urban life in the American film culture. Combining Syracuse University film educations with street knowledge and a passion for hip-hop culture, the two have written, directed, executive produced and edited three short films: the 2008 production, “Shades of Brooklyn Vol. 1”, “Eye Jammy (2006) ” and "rev' o. lu, shun" (2001). Following in the subversive traditions of independent filmmakers the likes of Spike Lee, Haile Gerima, Akira Kurosawa & the Cohen Brothers, Sunshowah Films highlights and explores the conflicts and contradictions that play a part in the lives of everyday people.
Following the successful run of “Shades of Brooklyn Vol. 1” on HBO and Cinemax (2009-2011), the Sunshowah team have gone on to write 3 feature films, including “…The Harder They Fall”, which is in pre-production and slated to start shooting in the fall.
Most Outstanding! & No Sleep 4 the wicked & wealthy of BedStuy...
Keep going,
