When The Well Runs Dry
The Experience
This is only my second time covering a film festival and I have to say every time gets a little better. I really appreciate the idea of young entrepreneurs actively working on new material and then getting the opportunity to showcase the product of their work to an audience both known and unknown. Writers Dominique R. Battle & Reggie Lochard did such an amazing job partnering with Co-writer/Director, Chris H. Greene on “When The Well Runs Dry”. Film quality, composition and acting was top tear but, what shined the most in this film was the authenticity of its script. Actors Donte Grey and Ricardo Manigat play characters who are challenged with living in a world without their mother, their superwoman. We can already imagine that as the film progresses the task quickly becomes a difficult one for two young black men. One, older, being catapulted into adulthood without a clue of how to juggle independence and the other, younger, left to deal with an array of emotions and no clear guide to teach him how to positively cope with the sudden lost. Overall the atmosphere was joyous, the film was incredible and I enjoyed myself. Hopefully the images below have captured the essence of this event and if you choose to watch the film just think, what would life be like if I lost my “foundation”.
Summary

The film takes place in Brooklyn, NY after the loss of these two gentlemen’s mother. It’s up to the two brothers to learn what it means to be brothers all while trying to find a balance for their new co-dependent lives.
Eric K. Thomas
Mr. Quintessential Gentlemen himself, Eric K. Thomas did an amazing job hosting the event for the night. He did great at controlling the space and really keeping the crowd captivated after the film was completed. The Q&A portion did not run long at all and he ushered us into the cocktail hour and networking smoothly. Thank you for having me and making me feel at home.
Question & Answer
Events like these are not only good for entertainment but, also for networking. If you are a businessman or woman it is crucial that you set time aside for secondary work as well. It’s not only important to go out and be creative, but its just as important to surround yourself with connections that will assist and allow you to reach small and large goals in your future.
