Last week, the Imajen crew flew down to Tampa to participate in the 2009 National Association of Black Journalists Convention, held in Tampa, Florida. It was a well organized and run event that hosted and honored local, regional, and national African American Journalists, as well as aspiring journalists.
Also present, were a number of African journalists representing media from Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Cameroon. Print, television, and online media were all represented, and over the course of the weekend, there were seminars, classes, career fairs, awards ceremonies, networking mixers, and even a couple of advance screenings of two soon-to-be-released Hollywood films; Chris Rock's new documentary film, Good Hair, and the Walt Disney animated film, The Princess and The Frog.
Of course, Imajen was at the convention promoting Ancients & Immortals, and specifically Book Seven: Archangels In Exile, and just as has been the case in previous exhibitions, the response to this groundbreaking work was incredible.
We certainly would like to thank Urban Internet Television for the taking an interest in the property and conducting an on air interview to promote Ancients & Immortals to their viewers. We would also like to acknowledge the African journalists, who are becoming some of the most enthusiastic new fans of the property, and have invited the Imajen team to come to their respective countries to promote Ancients & Immortals, and the Archangels installments in particular, which are set in fictional locations in Africa.
The Urban Internet Television interview will be added to the video archives in the coming weeks, and we will also be announcing several exciting developments, which are a result of suggestions made by NABJ Convention attendees - the newest fans of Ancients & Immortals.
PEACE keep up the good work.
