Magic 92.5's R Dub Honored with Film SelectionR Dub, program director and on-air talent at Magic 92.5, produced a movie two years ago. The film was included in this year's The San Diego Black Film Festival. R Dub writes, "In 2011 I produced and directed my first film, which was a documentary about a ground-breaking AM Hip-Hop radio station in Arizona. It really was an ode to the station's amazing staff, that made incredible things happen with no budget and a signal just as limited! Despite its success, the station went away one day with no warning to its listeners--this was before social media and the internet--and for years the entire community was left guessing why their favorite station simply up and disappeared. I felt we owed our listeners the real story, and a proper goodbye, thus, the reason for making the film. The "Slow Jams" expert adds, "I'm humbled that the film has been chosen as an official selection of The San Diego Black Film Festival and will be shown at Reading Cinemas Gaslamp 15 on Friday, February 1 at 8 p.m.,, as part of the four-day film fest." Chris Patyk program director at Energy 103.7 has a very prominent role in the story. The San Diego Black Film Festival was established in 2002 by the Black Historical Society of San Diego, and is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of African American and African Diaspora cinema as well as the education of media arts. Held each year in late January, the San Diego Black Film Festival is one of the largest black film festivals in the country. |
