YOU'RE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE WAITING ROOM ADVANCE SCREENING HOSTED BY CHEVROLET & MEGAMIND MEDIA FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS On October 9th, MEGAMIND MEDIA will collaborate with CHEVROLET & Tigerlily Foundation, a global breast cancer organization, focused on advocating for women of color to host the The Waiting Room movie screening. The film's dramatic focus on vital topics to today's Black families ranging from breast cancer to mental health was produced by Tressa Azarel Smallwood. "The Party" tells the story of Summer Jackson, a successful magazine executive preparing to celebrate being cancer-free for five years. When she is blindsided by the news that her cancer has returned, Summer would rather die than go through the chemo for a second time. Directed by Yvette Nicole Brown written by Dr. Missy Johnson & Lori Conway Ray starring Michelle Mitchenor, Brittany Inge & Gizelle Bryant. "It Takes Two" follows a wealthy socialite, Dayna Stevens, whose unexpected illness removes her from the tennis courts to chemotherapy. When she has a chance encounter with a stranger she gains the support she's been lacking from the most important people in her life. Directed by Ta’Rhonda Jones written by Lynette Blackwell starring Eva Marcille, Candiace Dillard Bassett & Danielle Warren.
