I had a great screening of NUMBER ONE ON THE CALL SHEET at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica as part of the American Cinematheque documentary festival.
Representing on the step and repeat!
It was a packed house!
After the movie, we had a great question and answer session with my friend Shawn Fannie of the Cultural Agency, who has been a champion of Black film since our days at the Motion Picture Academy together. I had friends in the house from my childhood, college years and collaborators I work with today. Special thanks to Erika Clarke of Apple TV, who has been a great exec on the project and keeps attending screenings, even though she’s seen the movie a zillion times! That’s support!
We didn’t do a formal question and answer session with the audience afterwards but I hung out and talked and took pictures with folks anyway. I got to see old friends like high school buddy Michele Claybourne, college friend Kathy Busby, my editor Jim May, my DP Matt Chavez and more!
Number One on the Call Sheet has gotten amazing coverage in the news! LA’s very own KTLA and TMZ gave it a shout out:
My friend David Belasco teaches an amazing course at USC about entrepreneurship with an incredible line up of guest speakers. Last time I did it, he encouraged me to bring my kids since they get to see their dad in a way they usually don’t experience. Great advice which led to a fantastic event.
So I did it again, and brought my son with me, and we did a mini tour of the USC campus, which is really a breathtaking school! Great facilities, great courses…I think one of America’s best.
The students in Belasco’s class were great as always, with smart questions and infectious enthusiasm. Top notch experience.

Darrell has been my attorney for years and he’s so good that Variety honored him for his work in Hollywood! Well deserved!
Will Packer was also honored, who I’ve known since he was an intern on RIDE, a movie I produced a lifetime ago. Now he’s a billion-dollar producer with the same drive and charm.

Apple put together a portable immersive experience to promote the film. Things were so crazy I didn’t even get a chance to see it in person!
But it sure looks cool and attracted huge crowds!
