Maurice Jamal parlays flick Ski Trip into tv series "Friends and Lovers: Ski Trip 2"
If you don’t know, now you know…
Maurice Jamal is a director, writer, actor, AND producer. I’ve seen his film “Dirty Laundry” and it was HAWT!!! If you like the Tyler Perry-esque film genre, then this is right up your alley.
Big up to CutSleeveBoy who put me in the know about Jamal’s latest work. I’m still trying to find out if this pilot was actually picked up, but hopefully, it will as the storyline and cast does not disappoint. The one and only “lip chap” girl herself Saaphyri from VH-1 reality tv series’ Flavor of Love and Mo’nique’s Charm School (which she won) plays a gold digging girlfriend. Remember Anwar Robinson from Season 4 of American Idol? Neither did I at first, but I googled him and he was one of the top 12 from that season (the year that Fantasia won, if that helps). He’s in it, too. Even Willie Macc from BET’s College Hill (a show i cannot get myself to watch ‘sam i am’..uh-unh, no way) landed himself a role.
If you’re interested and in the ATL area this weekend (Labor Day weekend), you should check out Atlanta Black Gay Pride (i had no idea that there was a Black Gay Pride outside of just Gay Pride as a celebration. i need one of them to pop off in columbus. not gonna happen…i know…would be nice…). Maurice will be hosting a world premiere of the tv pilot for “Friends and Lovers: Ski Trip 2” at Artistry.
