I probably speak on controversial subjects a bit too much for their blood, but I will continue to move forward as I feel Divinely Guided to share my thoughts and views and research with the folks who subscribe to my channel and who visit my channel. I know that I am divinely guided by the Ancestors and Guardians and my Own Inner Light and Voice because of the impact that my little channel has. I am not a victim. I am victorious and YouTube don't know who they messin' with! I'm just saying.<br /> <br /><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div style="text-align:center;"><iframe width="560" height="315" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ml_TLTkpnto?wmode=opaque"></iframe></div><div style="text-align:center;"><br /><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Now for the topic of this video. </div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><b><u>Was the Steve Stephens Event Preparing Us For Something Bigger?</u></b></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">There has been a lot of speculation about the Steve Stephens event. Supposedly his family came together to host an open funeral for him this past Saturday, just in case folks thought it was a hoax and he was really NOT dead. Any of you folks out there went to the funeral? How many of you went to the old man's funeral?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">One of the things about False Flags is that they have tale-tail signs written all over them. Some of them are so incredulous it makes you wonder why anyone would believe them. Some of them repeat the same staging with:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Media reporting over the top:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Horrendous details but no real camera footage:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Murder weapons used change shape, size and details:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">If there is video, obvious editing and or obscure rendering to cause even more speculation about how real is real.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div class="separator" style="text-align:left;clear:both;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PEWqft5OEeU/WPog_OqdCmI/AAAAAAACnP4/nGyFO7olbA81MFfkfdlza5MzbeXuv1mDQCPcB/s1600/Angela%2BSmith%2BCrying.jpg"><img width="320" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PEWqft5OEeU/WPog_OqdCmI/AAAAAAACnP4/nGyFO7olbA81MFfkfdlza5MzbeXuv1mDQCPcB/s320/Angela%2BSmith%2BCrying.jpg" border="0" alt="Angela%2BSmith%2BCrying.jpg" /></a>Witnesses corroborate stories on one hand then contradict on the others:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members of victims are immediately interviewed to keep the narrative fresh in the minds of the public.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members of victims show little or no real emotion or grief:</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members who wear glasses have been exposed for reading a script as it can be seen in the lens of their glasses or as in one case I observed, she actually had the paper in her hand and while looking down at it, exposed it.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members are quick to forgive, which I find quite interesting because if you take the time to read the comments under the stories surrounding these events, well, the commenters for the most part are calling for blood, string him up, put him under the jail, etc.<a style="clear:right;float:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em;" href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bUr3Z0me-9s/WPog_MH7kgI/AAAAAAACnP4/oAPZM0c9Obo7NNwy02ncwT-gWmYbPvlAgCPcB/s1600/Alexis%2BLee-he%2Bhad%2Ba%2Bgambling%2Bproblem.jpg"><img width="143" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bUr3Z0me-9s/WPog_MH7kgI/AAAAAAACnP4/oAPZM0c9Obo7NNwy02ncwT-gWmYbPvlAgCPcB/s200/Alexis%2BLee-he%2Bhad%2Ba%2Bgambling%2Bproblem.jpg" border="0" alt="Alexis%2BLee-he%2Bhad%2Ba%2Bgambling%2Bproblem.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Reports interviewing victims and witnesses in front of a green screen.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Witnesses appear out of nowhere in some instances with a full account of what happened even before the Media/authorities have investigated it.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">It's all over social media, and the MSM is using social media as their source of verifiable info. Catch them making up stuff and they quickly move on to another story, rarely retracting the blunder in their reporting.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Witness and even some family members of the victims become celebrities and/or start non-profits or lawsuits. Interesting.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">FBI knew of the so called "terrorist" long before the act took place.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Family members and supporters show up within hours with pics, posters, etc. of the victim, some in pristine condition as if they were made by a professional who works on weekends and after hours.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">And last but not least of course, the perpetrator gets to die, kill himself or in rare cases, gets to have a trial which in most cases is a closed trial, away from public scrutiny.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VYDx6pIKoL4/WRd--JEp_vI/AAAAAAACnyk/nUT_-T2tyr07Z-knXL4C8_l-FUol8hrMACK4B/s1600/PA_McDonald%2527s_worker_who_tipped_police.png"><img width="200" height="111" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VYDx6pIKoL4/WRd--JEp_vI/AAAAAAACnyk/nUT_-T2tyr07Z-knXL4C8_l-FUol8hrMACK4B/s200/PA_McDonald%2527s_worker_who_tipped_police.png" border="0" alt="PA_McDonald%2527s_worker_who_tipped_police.png" /></a> <span style="font-size:14pt;">So Dylann Storm Roof gets a trial while Steve Stephens gets to kill himself. But they both paid a visit to a fast food restaurant.</span></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Dylann was taken to Burger King.. by his captors no less, and Steve, well he just road up to the McDonald's a 1.5hrs drive from Cleveland and ordered a 6 pack of chicken nuggets, no wait, that dude is too big for a six pack, change that to 20 pack nuggets folks, make it more believable.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">And let me just add right here for those who really like to look deeper and deeper into these events "The Notion of Snuff Films" and the even more sinister notion of waging bets on them. You can check out Abel Danger's perspective on "Serco" and the "Snuff Films" angle. In a word, people don't have to "actually" die, but the films rake in enough revenue for the betters, so who cares?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">So we move to the theme of Crisis Actors. Personally, I really think they need to get better actors, cause for sure, dude was horrid in his performance, absolutely horrid! I think his acting is what made this story unbelievable on so many levels more than anything else.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Under this video <strong>"WHAT ARE CRISIS ACTORS? WAS STEVE STEPHEN A CRISIS ACTOR?"</strong> posted by Wise Minds (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8nbPXb_ypM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8nbPXb_ypM</a>) Someone commented and I quote this comment..</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><blockquote>"We assume 1000's of people lost their lives because we were told so. If there where no planes and it was all staged controlled demolition then the death toll was probably very low like incidentals they could not account for. Homeless persons as an example. There is good evidence that suggests those buildings where largely hollow that explains the lack of debris. It is also a common practice to remove everything out of buildings before implosion as the stuff in the building can cause the building to come down in a undesirable fashion. Like internal non support walls.</blockquote></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">If you follow these so called events where we never see the money shot they always turn the camera or give us the colored bars or the video is so grainy and terrible you can't make heads or tales of anything. Everything happens just out of sight of the camera. This makes the viewers mind fill in the blanks. Killing real people is a messy affair that could cause real world consequences. These assholes also believe in karma and I guess I have witnessed it myself. They fake it for a number of reasons but I think karma is the big reason it always comes back to bite you in the ass. Easier to fake it. When and if ever caught they can say it's not our fault you are an idiot that fell for a hoax."</div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><b><i>My Response to this comment is this:</i></b></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Wow, that's some interesting concepts on the controlled demolition theory. It needs to be investigated further.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Was there any large amounts of office junk moved out?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Did moving trucks come back and forth in the preceding days. Were businesses in the buildings moved out, I heard some relocated, but enough to minimize the obstruction to the demolition?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">However, if no to these questions, or only a minimal displacement then we must look to another theory.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Dustification. Weapons that can turn anything to dust. Judy Wood discusses this and your one statement about removing stuff makes so much sense and truly gives her theory legs.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">I think it's all of the above. They wanted to take building 7 down the same way, but for some reason the invisible plane did not hit that building. But all were wired for demolition and building seven should not have come down at all. It was the newest and most fortified building which Mayor Juliani had a protective fortified bunker at the top. Why did that building disintegrate?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Not sure if they believe in Karma, that's another hoax they got folks to believe in. They feel protected as long as they do what the overlords tell them. They have been duped as well.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Now there is blow back, what goes around comes around, though. And so, even if they are pranking the people they will and are susceptible to being pranked.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">These people live in fear of discovery which is why they spend so much time covering their tracks.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">I am convinced this was staged, and in more than one shot. The video of the shooting was not live streamed but later edited. If he was on the run, when and where did he find the time to edit the video?</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">But all in all the masses are being played, but so are the players. There are even more sinister forces behind it all. The idea is to keep every one in their fear chakra so they are more easily manipulated.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><em><strong>In another comment under the same video:</strong></em></div><blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">"I wish we knew what really happened. I keep wondering what really went on in the streets of Cleveland when the Police told everyone to stay inside. It just feels like this is all preparation for something."</div></blockquote><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><b><i>My Response to this comment is this:</i></b></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"><b><i> </i></b></div><div class="separator" style="text-align:left;clear:both;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TrOrYl-CHyg/WRc8AHhsKbI/AAAAAAACnx8/FhjnRhChI8wdAHvTdNjQLfAb0U1zOyzqQCPcB/s1600/militarized%2Bpolice.jpg"><img width="320" height="213" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TrOrYl-CHyg/WRc8AHhsKbI/AAAAAAACnx8/FhjnRhChI8wdAHvTdNjQLfAb0U1zOyzqQCPcB/s320/militarized%2Bpolice.jpg" border="0" alt="militarized%2Bpolice.jpg" /></a>People say it's martial law, but that is already here, it's been a long time since the police we called civil servants. These events give the cities, towns and states more reason to intensify law enforcement with militarized armored vehicles, munitions and gear. They no longer are trained to see people as someone to protect and serve, but as enemy combatants or civilians, these are military terms they been using for years. It's intensifying and becoming more common, but this country been under martial law since Lincoln was president.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">The idea of government, is the idea of God. What I mean is Government=God to many people. They worship the Flag of their government and expect their government to protect them from threats foreign and domestic. With this in mind they control the perception of the masses of what the government is bequeathed by a higher authority to do in their rolls of governing over the people. It always comes back to this.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Governments rule by creating reasons to fear the lack of their protection, thereby they are legitimate in doing all the things they do that curtail and in some case rescind human rights and privacy. Governments can do to you what others cannot do to you and make you pay for it by issuing a tax levy.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">Governments create situations that make you cry out for more government control and power over your life. The ultimate goal of government is to totally disavow any sovereignty that the individual would or could have and give it all to them and then charge you for it. People happily go along with it because Government has created this illusion and has given you a document and/or thousands of unread ones, to prove how much power they have over you and your life.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">“Humanity is hard wired to believe in other than self, outside of self, power not contained in self, so the scriptures (propaganda-sorry to say) indoctrinates folks to believe in a power outside of them. It made the Romans rich, it made the Catholic Church rich, and today, it makes the so-called powers that be rich elites who continue to dupe the masses.</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div class="separator" style="text-align:left;clear:both;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xqQvqUgCZxM/WPa6jeGMOfI/AAAAAAACnNA/bP2l0WPr9QgHGJgA6GFQerAGN3FJqbdDQCPcB/s1600/Stephens_on_the_Phone-1.png"><img width="320" height="175" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xqQvqUgCZxM/WPa6jeGMOfI/AAAAAAACnNA/bP2l0WPr9QgHGJgA6GFQerAGN3FJqbdDQCPcB/s320/Stephens_on_the_Phone-1.png" border="0" alt="Stephens_on_the_Phone-1.png" /></a>Whatever character they need to use to demonize (Bin Laden) or glorify (celebrities) we have the same story going on, the story of good and evil, savior and saved, lost and found. So for real, it does not matter if Jesus is real or contrived... what matters is the power this Archetype has had in taking away the "PERSONAL POWER" of humanity, or anyone who believes in him. It enslaves humanity and ties a yoke of perceived and fabricated freedom predicated on what... SOMEBODY ELSE DID FOR YOU!</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;">It props up governments worldwide, who take care of their citizens, instead of societies where citizens take care of themselves. It's the age old plan of keeping the slaves in check through the use of false hope in that which is outside, thus losing connection to the true divine self that lies within. It creates martyrs, pacifist, abusers and dictators. When humanity finally wakes up from its slumber, hypnosis and amnesia, there will be a whole lot of shaking going on that will reverberate throughout the entire Universe.”</div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;text-align:left;"></div><div style="text-align:left;"></div><div style="text-align:left;"><b><u>LINKS OF INTEREST</u></b></div><div><table style="border-collapse:collapse;border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;" border="1" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;font-weight:bold;"><span class="font-size-3">THIS IS WHAT GOD SAID TO ME ABOUT THE YOUTUBE CRISIS, CHANGE AND LOSS</span></div><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;color:#666666;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKp5Qqke34">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKp5Qqke34</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLFns5Tz-Iw&index=13&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLFns5Tz-Iw&index=13&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7-25dwf9iM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7-25dwf9iM</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6iKrjfgOyg&index=5&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6iKrjfgOyg&index=5&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;margin:0in;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfDDFbX46i8&index=14&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfDDFbX46i8&index=14&list=PLHcsGizlfLMWpSg7i0b9wnUyEZWI-25N3</a></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="border-color:#A3A3A3;border-style:solid;border-width:1pt;padding:4pt 4pt 4pt 4pt;vertical-align:top;width:7.1493in;"><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;font-weight:bold;"><span class="font-size-3">Philip Defranco Is Being Kicked Off His Channel</span></div><div style="margin:0in;text-align:left;color:#666666;font-family:Cambria;font-size:14pt;"><span class="font-size-3"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lAwpZ_ZcjA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lAwpZ_ZcjA</a></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div></div></div></div>

<p><span class="xn-location">OAK BROOK, Ill.</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Feb. 15, 2016</span> /PRNewswire/ -- Back for its second year, <a href="http://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/home.html" target="_blank">McDonald's USA</a> and the <a href="http://www.abff.com/" target="_blank">American Black Film Festival</a> invite emerging filmmakers to enter McDonald's "My Community" Video Competition. Filmmakers are challenged to create one 90-second video that illustrates McDonald's 365Black mantra, "Deeply Rooted in Your Community." Aspiring filmmakers nationwide are encouraged to enter their best, original submissions by <span class="xn-chron">11:59 p.m. EDT</span> <span class="xn-chron">April 15, 2016</span>, for their chance to win the grand prize. Three finalists will be selected to attend the 20<span>th</span> annual American Black Film Festival in <span class="xn-location">Miami</span>, <span class="xn-chron">June 15 - 19</span> and have an exclusive opportunity to be mentored by critically-acclaimed film director <span class="xn-person">Malcolm D. Lee</span> (<i>The Best Man; The Best Man Holiday; Barbershop: The Next Cut</i>), who will provide finalists with invaluable film industry tips and advice.</p>
<p>The submissions will be judged by a panel of industry experts and the top three short videos will premiere at the highly-anticipated 20<span>th</span>anniversary festival. Submissions will be critiqued on creativity, implementation of concept and quality. One finalist will take home the grand prize — a film equipment package valued at <span class="xn-money">$2,500</span> and an opportunity to have their video featured on prominent websites, including McDonald's <a href="http://365black.com/" target="_blank">365Black.com</a> and other media entities. More information about the competition can be found at <a href="http://www.abff.com/" target="_blank">www.abff.com</a>.</p>
<p>"We are proud to partner with McDonald's on bringing this opportunity to emerging content creators. Without a doubt, this competition is a catalyst for introducing undiscovered talent to the industry-at-large," said <span class="xn-person">Jeff Friday</span>, ABFF founder and CEO.</p>
<p>"I look forward to returning as mentor to the finalists in the McDonald's 'My Community' Video Competition," said <span class="xn-person">Malcolm D. Lee</span>. "There is so much great talent out there in the film industry and it's always inspiring to connect with them and hopefully do my part to support the next generation of great filmmakers."</p>
<p>Furthering their relationship with filmmakers, McDonald's is also working with writer/director/producer <span class="xn-person">Reginald Hudlin</span> (<i>House Party; Boomerang</i>), who will star in an All Day Breakfast commercial airing this month.</p>
<p>McDonald's 365Black mantra, Deeply Rooted in Your Community, will inspire what the brand does in 2016, extending to this video competition. By focusing on 'my community', the campaign provides an opportunity to showcase various communities and allow consumers to celebrate the communities that they are part of. Not confined to just the neighborhood in which they live, 'my community' includes shared passions, hobbies, interests, churches and social organizations.</p>
<p>"This partnership with ABFF allows us to affect meaningful and impactful change in the communities we serve and be a catalyst in cultivating stories from African American communities nationwide through these aspiring filmmakers," said <span class="xn-person">Marty Gillis</span>, Chairman, McDonald's African American Consumer Marketing Committee. "We are looking forward to the creativity that will come out of this competition and hope that it sparks inspiration and excitement in the film industry."</p>
<p>Last year's winner, <span class="xn-person">Richard T. Fields</span>, won the competition with his short video "<a href="https://vimeo.com/122918089" target="_blank">Puppy Love</a>." The 'My Community' Video Competition and ABFF's vision to promote diversity in the film and television industry align with McDonald's 365Black platform — an initiative that celebrates the pride, heritage and achievements of African-Americans year round. McDonald's encourages those interested in the competition to follow <a href="http://www.twitter.com/365Black" target="_blank">@365Black</a> on Twitter and join the conversation using #365BlackFilm.
