Mann Robinson: the man behind the big screen


Known for big name films including Turnt (2020), His Hers & The Truth (2019) and A Love to Die For (2020), Mann Robinson has established himself as a viable independent filmmaker and producer who has much to bring to the industry. Originally making his roots in the rap game, Mann evolved after writing his first movie K.A.R.M.A. in which film became his new artistic pursuit. Studying the history of film and film equipment whilst simultaneously incorporating his “Mann Robinson Productions”, Mann went on to enrol in Full Sail University by 2014. Having relocated to Atlanta, he launched his production house Metro Wealth Studios as well as hosting acting seminars and workshops through his own Atlanta Actors Workshop. In doing so, he was able to form a database of thousands of actors which he would use in his future film projects.

During his free time, he started writing Turnt (2020), basing its story on his own experiences in the entertainment industry and on the street. His collaboration with friend Jamal Woolard helped to flip the movie from a documentary style film to a hood drama feature film. The film continued to garner interest, with the cast rapidly growing and Mann having to write new scenes to accommodate this.

As his production was growing, Mann went on to fill in the role of director for Nick Lewis’ “Slanging birds”. The film debuted at the Orlando Urban Film & Music Festival and went on to win two first place awards.

This created an increasing buzz around Turnt, and with casting being announced, interest from numerous big names in the entertainment industry grew further and further.

Mann Robinson is a figure within the entertainment industry that has a mission to produce amazing projects, and he is so far succeeding. The independent filmmaker is on the rise and has various promising projects in development. Through his passion, these projects have to come to life including the likes of Troubled Waters (2020); Homelessness is not a crime (2020), Sebastian (2020), Justice On Trial (2020) and Super Turnt (Turnt 2).

Keep an eye out for Mann Robinson, his productions garner constant praise and he’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.





Firth's Chasm: In the Blink of an Eye





Today's BOOK OF THE DAY is very exciting and action-packed. "Firth's Chasm: In the Blink of an Eye," by Travis James is nothing to mess around with. It will grab you from the very beginning and take you on a roller coaster ride -- a great one at that. Take a look.



Firth's Chasm: In the Blink of an Eye Paperback – June 24, 2020

by Travis James  (Author)

 


On a good day, any sane person could never imagine what it would feel like to be on a doomed crashing jetliner, much less live to tell the tale.

A combination of fiction and non-fiction, impossible to tell which, is the story of one man that lives to tell the experience as the jetliner starts breaking apart at the arctic circle above Canada.

Living through the experience is horrendous enough by itself, but when Travis James realizes that his life is thought to be forfeited in the wreckage and there is no help coming? He goes into survival mode as his damaged body wreaks havoc and keeps him trapped in the wilderness, keeping him from traveling south to safety.

A man of means, aching to return to his family that believes he is dead, is the driving force that pushes a man to the limits and beyond of his ability as the unfriendly terrain takes its toll.

When the push south finally begins, the trail is littered with agony and death as the civilized world refuses to acknowledge that there were any survivors or that he is anything other than a homeless man.

A disfigured Travis is constantly trying to decide whether to join his family, knowing he no longer looks quite the same, or to wander off into the sunset and save his family more grief.

Some names have been changed to protect the innocent.




 

Reviews

A man may not fight to stay alive because he hates what is in front of him, but may because he loves what he has left behind him.

A brave man only dies once,,,, but a coward dies a thousand times.

TRIVIA ON THE BOOK

This book is the middle book of a trilogy written by Travis James. Written in 6 weeks, 1-2 hours a night on an Iphone in notes, because this story is both fictional and non-fictional and is a recurring dream 2-4 nights a week. the author was told to put the dream together word for word and then read it over to eliminate the nightmares. That didn't work, so as others read the story, the author was encouraged to let others see the story so that people could appreciate that not all lives and paths that we humans chose to take end up even close to the way we initially hope.
