UPDATE: I’ll be posting more pics and video today (5.18). Check back throughout today. The video is a bit slow to upload and time consuming.
Today, multi-media host and entertainment personality Tavis Smiley holds an exlcusive “blogger and internet media” screening of his new documentary STAND at his home. It’s an intimate gathering of internet professionals and entertainment executives to get more feedback on this highly anticipated film, premiering on TV-One on May 24th. Of course, of course The Mo’Kelly Report is in the house and will be bringing you photos and even VIDEO from behind the scenes.

Comment by mrmokelly 05.18.2009 @ 8:03 AMSo I take it that the event went well? Who are some of the people who were there?
Comment by Walt Bennett 05.18.2009 @ 8:23 AMIt was a great time – we got red velvet cupcakes.That last picture of Tavis on the computer looks like you guys went poolside after I left?
In addition to us, there was Blue Light Blog Room, Detroit News, Rushmore Drive, Black Informant.

Comment by mrmokelly 05.18.2009 @ 2:12 PMNear the end, Tavis went poolside to answer some live chat questions and also get interviewed by two of those lovely, lovely, lovely journalists…
Did I mention that they were lovely?
Comment by mrmokelly 05.18.2009 @ 2:15 PMThanks for posting that 5th video. I was hoping someone did this. What else do they want this brutha to say? Sheesh.
Comment by Duane 05.18.2009 @ 4:40 PMYou mention that you’ve seen the film 4x, but still no comment about the film. I’m curious because I have several problems with the film. Appreciate the intent, it’s just the final product and where do we go from here, that I think is open for discussion/debate.
Comment by ChitownStu 05.26.2009 @ 6:23 PMHey Stu, I didn’t comment on the film because I wanted to hear other people’s thoughts, because I’m obviously biased. Please elaborate on what you felt was missing…
