Related to your film festival Event, once “Twinkies & Root Beer” is Officially Selected, negotiations can begin to have the Film’s star and long time youth development worker (Phillip E. Walker - MFA) attend your Festival to personally lead a KINDNESS ACTIVITY that is inspired by the Movie’s screening. (see Cover Letter)

Now bound for a March 17, 2018 famous Hollywood TCL Chinese 6 Theatre screening for #IndieNightFF, in the Film a young boy (Isiah Greene) displays the seed of God within himself through kind acts toward an elderly man (Phillip E. Walker). The plot is based on the anonymous “Twinkies & Root Beer” Story so often retold on the internet by faith based groups around the world. Further, the short film’s common but heavenly local park interactions (which are being depicted between the two main characters) warms the heart.

Director Biography - Andre Campbell

Mr. Campbell grew up in the Bronx in New York City, where he always had an interest in moving pictures. As a producer on his first film, "7:35", Mr. Campbell caught the bug and after that decided to produce and direct. He started off with “Two Blues” and then “Trust” where he won his first directing award. He followed that up with “Whaaat?”, “Future Killer”, “DangerMan”, “Frozen Voltage”, “Oops!”, “Lew's Up First” and “Twinkies & Root Beer.” His work today consists of films, documentaries, commercials, and music videos. He has over a dozen awards for his Producing and Directing. When not filmmaking, he’s taken the time to author several books on filmmaking, which can be found on Amazon, as well teaching film at Los Angeles Community College. For relaxing you can find him flying his quadcopters and keeping them away from tall trees that seem to have a magnetic effect. He still stands behind his old school motto, "Learn by doing.”
