Experiencing Interruptions?

Absolutely Positive

Absolutely Positive is a dramatic short film that follows four characters, all from different walks of life, as they get tested for HIV. It shows the events of why they decide to get tested, the
thoughts that run through their minds as they wait for their results, and how they decide to live their lives after discovering their results.

Displaying a truthful insight into the many worlds and faces of HIV, Absolutely Positive sheds light on the importance of personal
accountability as well as lack of discrimination, showing that HIV has no limits and knows no bounds. It only takes one person. It only takes one time.

Director Biography - Anthony L. Williams

Award-winning actor/director/writer/producer, Anthony Williams, is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas and owner of Second Glance Productions.

Williams began his career very young as an actor eventually migrating over into the filmmaking aspects as a writer, then producer, then director. His early years of hard work and dedication as a theater producer and director gained him national and international recognition and awards, sending him overseas to perform in the International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, the highest honor below a Tony Award that one can receive in theater. Those performances gained multiple five-star critical acclaims and reviews placing him in the International Thespian Society by the end of 2006, an honorable award resulting from a culmination of four years of work.

Williams continued on to film and video production, producing short films, commercials, and public service announcements, one of which won him the Best Produced and Silver Award for Customer Service in 2010. During that time, he continued to hone his craft of acting, auditioning for short and feature films nationwide.

As both an actor and filmmaker, Williams embraces his knack for taking on projects that are controversial, that push the boundaries, and strike up conversations. He wants his films to leave a mark on his audience, leaving their eyes open to things they wouldn't normally glance upon.
