I would like to share this with all of you.

I would like to call MARY JANE's premiere ONE OF THE BEST NIGHT IN HAITIAN CINEMA.

If you ask me a few months ago before seeing "Mary Jane's trailer - is there hope for the Haitian Cinema, I would have answered no because I've seen so many Haitian movies that disappointed me. A few months ago a friend suggest that I check out MARY JANE'S trailer I was so amazed with what i saw, never have I seen a trailer that caught my attention so much at least not in the Haitian movie industry.

For once there was a trailer with a message, for once there was a TRAILER, a trailer that was not a 10 minutes "scene" from the movie, for once the trailer tell me what the film is going to be about without giving the full story away and I know I had to be at the premiere.

The premiere of "Mary Jane" was a lot more than what I was expected, I've been to a few Haitian movie Premiere and I have to tell you the atmosphere in the theater was different, it was a mix crowd, Haitian, American, Spanish, you name it. You feel the excitement in the theater .For so long I've heard people talk and write about how we should produce film for anyone from any background to watch; well I am proud to say "MARY JANE" accomplishes that. The presentation, the people, the media, it was truly one of the best Premiere I have ever been to.

"THE FILM"
Words to describe "MARY JANE," Brilliant, breathtaking, emotional and powerful.

How many Haitian parents work two jobs morning till night the only time for their kids is when they are dropping and picking them up at the Babysitter, a family member or a friend's house?

How many Haitian parents really know how their children's' days are like?

Mary Jane is a film for all parents to see. This film has such a great message, such an important subject, one we don't often talk about in our Haitian culture "Child sexual Abuse." The people behind this film did such an amazing job relaying the message.

I can't find one negative things to say about the actors they did such an amazing job very professional, when they were crying you almost wanted to cry along with them yes I did drop a few tears.

The editing of the film oh man amazing job, the quality was on point, dialogue.

I was able to follow thru from the beginning until the end of the film. The director of the film did such an amazing job. The interesting thing for me while watching the film I never once thought I was watching a Haitian film; I was watching a powerful film made by a group of Haitian man, and that made me really proud to see the work that they have done. I would encourage you all to support this film, to continue to support the Haitian cinema after what I saw on Saturday whether these guys continue in the Haitian market or move on to other market they have successfully leave a mark in Haitian cinema.

What I walk away with is a great message, one that all parents should know: Parents talk to your child be your child best friend that way when there's something wrong or someone is hurting your child they can always come to you. Parent don't assume everything is fine, don't assume because your child is acting out, your child behavior is abnormal that mean they are hanging with the wrong crowd or they are at the age. Talk to you child, find out what your child days are like. The most important thing from this film is if you are a victim of child sexual abuse, you need to speak up; you need to let somebody know you can't be help if you stay silent don't let your abuser win, do not let your abuser silent you, once you speak they have no power over you, they cant hurt you anymore no matter what your abuser tell you like Mary Jane said "PALE."

This film "Mary Jane" started the conversation on Saturday July 17 in such an amazing and positive way, let continue the conversation, let break the silence on child sexual abuse.

Congratulations to the cast and the crew of "MARY JANE" on an amazing job.
