I had the pleasure of attending and covering Bobby Huntley and Nikki Wade‘s recent Atlanta premiere of their new indie film, “La Vie Magnifique De Charlie.” The screening took place at the Porter Sanford III Performing Arts & Community Center and was attended by their family, friends and supporters.

“La Vie Magnifique De Charlie,” is an exciting tale of a young girl who is adjusting to the untimely passing of her sister in an unorthodox way. The story follows an energetic, quirky girl named Charlie (Kortnee Price) and a group of her friends (Lailaa Brookings & Nikki LaShae) as they go on a series of adventurous tasks left as a final message from late sister, Brandy (Ashley S. Evans). The movie explores the experiences and interpersonal relationships of sisterhood and the portrayal of black women.

The evening began with a red carpet that included appearances by most of film’s cast and crew. Prior to the screening, attendees also got a chance to see film trailers from some of Huntley’s other industry friends like Towanda Kilpatrick’s “Hussy.” Actors Bryan Earl and Ashley John also talked about starring in Huntley’s southern tale “Louisiana 1961” with the evening’s host and emcee “All Eyez on Me” actress Khadija Copeland.
