Los Angeles, CA (EternalConceptsPR.com) – In celebration of legalized medical cannabis, Green Entertainment presents The 4th Annual Doesha Cup, a medicinal cannabis competition event on December 13, 2008 from 3pm to Midnight in a discreet and safe downtown Los Angeles location.

The Doesha Cup is Southern California’s leading marijuana strain competition judged by California Proposition 215 patients and caregivers, anti-prohibition activists, educators, and celebrities. Prop 215 patients and Cannabis enthusiasts will have an opportunity to sample, evaluate and rank over 20+ strains of California’s top medicinal marijuana strains. This invitation-only, legalized celebration provides a safe and discreet place where California Proposition 215 patients and caregivers can gather and celebrate medicinal marijuana through entertainment, networking and educational seminars.

Hosted by Comedians Spanky Hayes and Scruncho, the festival includes special comedic and musical performances by the B-Side Players, Los Marijuanos, Blaze Mob, Funtime Band featuring LTD’s original drummer and more.

Green Entertainment fashioned the Doesha Cup from Amsterdam’s Cannabis Cup in an effort to bring awareness and visibility to the rights under California Proposition 215 and offer patients an entertaining experience through medication. “We are excited to introduce more patients and caregivers to our event but more importantly expose the use of medicinal marijuana here in California to the unknown” said Dennis Fomond from Green Entertainment. “Creating this festive event allows patients to medicate in a controlled atmosphere & sample a variety of strains to alleviate chronic pain and other ailments.”

This year’s event is sponsored by several California dispensaries and supporting vendors.

Presale general admission tickets are available to Proposition 215 patient/caregivers; no tickets will be sold at the door. Doors will close at 4:30pm, no exceptions.

American Black Film Festival 2008 Wrap-Up

Who Killed Bishop Brown Actor Tyrone Chapman, Filmmaker Elijah Kelley and Vincent M. Ward

Filmmakers worldwide came to showcase their independent movies at the 2008 American Black Film Festival, August 7th-10th. Celebrating its 12th anniversary, this international film festival provides artists with the opportunity to exhibit their shorts, narrative features and documentaries. The event had a feast of activities to help aspiring movie makers to take their works to the next level with workshops and panel discussions, and concluded with an award ceremony that rewarded and honored participants of the festival. Today’s hottest actors, producers and directors overflowed the red carpet to screen these movies from Halle Berry to Sanaa Lathan to John Singleton.

Writer, Producer and Filmmaker Elijah Kelley world-premiered his second indie Who Killed Bishop Brown? at the festival. This film addresses how deceit, lust and greed cause controversy in the church and how the only peace lies in finding out “who killed Bishop Brown?”

Leading man Vincent M. Ward , best known for his supporting roles on Everybody Hates Chris and CSI Miami, and also a newcomer to HBO hit drama The Wire, Ward takes on his first leading role on the big screen as Bishop Brown. Both Ward and Actor Tyrone Chapman accompanied Kelley on the red carpet.

Actor, Producer and Filmmaker Michael Kimbrew and Writer, Producer and Director Alton Glass debuted their urban horror flick Marco Polo, which takes viewers on an adventurous expedition with explorer Marco Polo. Polo’s spirit rises from the dead to haunt a group of college seniors during their weekend camping trip. In addition, they also released their comedy feature film,Tons of Love starring Capone, Gerald Kelly, Tommy Chunn and Spanky Hayes. Tons of Love is a buddy comedy about romance and physical preference.

Two best friends learn that love comes in all different sizes. Alfred Johnson and Eric Daniels have been road dogs since high school. They have everything in common except their taste in women. Eric typically falls deep into his pockets for looks and is willing to go the distance to have a “dime piece” on his arm at any cost. Al on the other hand, loves a woman who can keep him warm beneath her healthy bosom during the winter nights. Big, bold, beautiful and pleasantly plump is the way he prefers to roll. They soon find out that real and true beauty goes much deeper than the surface.
