What's up Family,

This is David E. Talbert, the 5-time NAACP Award winner, including Best Playwright for The Fabric Of A Man and the New York Literary Award winner for Best Playwright for my most recent musical Love In The Nick Of Time.

Well, tomorrow is the BIG DAY. I have been grinding, sweating and praying for this day to arrive as I deliver to you my best work for my movie directorial debut. Below is an email that was sent to my site from an on-line winner.

Dear Mr. Talbert,

Thank you again for the opportunity to be one of the first audiences to watch the preview of First Sunday. I won the tickets from the contest that you ran before the holidays. David the movie was great from beginning to end. I could not believe that I was able to laugh all the way through. I actually felt like I was in church when then scene came on with Katt Williams. Tracy Morgan was excellent he keep me rolling. Ice Cube, what can you say I really felt his role. I love the message about having a father in a young man's life especially. I am a single parent and I understand what you meant when you said that you wanted to send the message that there are still good father's left in the world . I cant wait to take my son who is 11 to see the movie. Sorry for the tangent but to sum it all up job well done keep up the great work. Just know that as the man prayed over you during the autograph signing remember you have many doing the same for you and yours at all times.

May God continue to bless you.

Love your,
Faithful Fan

Family, I need your help to make sure everybody you know understands how important it is to see this movie this weekend. I'm asking that you send a personal email to all your friends asking them to support FIRST SUNDAY on this Friday, January 11th. If you're part of a fraternity, sorority, church group or social group, join with me and many others in making this weekend the biggest ever! If you attended a HBCU, spread the word and let folks know that Black Colleges and Universities are still pumping out great things from their graduates. As soon as you get this, send an email to your lists and groups. Your college or university. From Myspace to Facebook to anywhere else...help me spread the word by letting everyone know that it's important to see FIRST SUNDAY the day it opens - this Friday, January 11th.

So why is going to see the film tomorrow so important?

Hollywood looks at the numbers on Friday and that's how they project which film will open #1. The more African-American films that we have that open at #1, the more chances we get to tell our stories, hire our actors, and entertain, uplift, and inspire our community. This film does all that. It's a laugh out loud movie starring one of the most amazing casts ever assembled. And best thing...it's for the entire family. This Friday... Let's send a strong signal that our films matter.

Let's make FIRST SUNDAY # 1

Will you do this for me? I'm saying THANK YOU in advance because I know you will!!!

Much love!!

David E. Talbert
