A Father's Love Premiere - Akron

Akron-native Kellon Akeem, CEO & Founder of Mansa Productions, is hosting the Ohio premiere of ‘A Father’s Love.’ This short film debuted at the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) in June. 
The Akron showing is on Sunday, Aug. 19 at 6:30pm (doors open at 5:30pm) at the Civic Center. Several of the stars in front of and behind the camera will attend the premiere and host a Q&A session following the screening. 
A Father’s Love tells a teenage love story with several unusual twists. The film’s cast includes Terayle Hill (SuperFly; Blue Bloods; Love, Simon), Adriyan Rae( Atlanta, Star, SuperFly), Tichina Arnold (Martin, Everybody Hates Chris), and E. Roger Mitchell (Hunger Games, Sully, Selma).

Donations will be accepted at the door to benefit Dreams Academy, an Akron-based non-profit that provides a network of professional African American males to mentor, teach, and ultimately positively affect young black males by sowing into their manhood.
