EVERYTHING BUT A MAN - Q&A SCREENING @ 9:00PM

She's Sexy, Strong, Successful... and still single.

A successful African-American career woman has a life-changing romance with a mysterious, French-speaking black man from another culture, whose lifestyle differences challenge her Westernized beliefs on love, relationships and what it means to be a "strong" woman.

Race, class, gender and culture all clash in this unconventional romantic drama. Join us for the New York premiere screening to be followed by a Q&A with lead actor Jimmy Jean-Louis!
