Filmmaker Kobie Brown Partners With Ebony.com For From Fatherless To Fatherhood Web Series

May 31, 2013 - PRLog -- New York, NY-May 31, 2013- Documentary Filmmaker Kobie Brown has partnered with Ebony.com to produce a web-series, From Fatherless to Fatherhood, based on his critically acclaimed documentary of the same name.

The series, which will be hosted on the site Mondays and Thursdays beginning on June 3rd, will feature interviews with some of the most prominent people in academia, sports and media.  Interviewees include Devon Franklin, Sony Pictures SVP & author of “Produced by Faith;” Dr. John S. Wilson, President of Morehouse College; Allan Houston, Founder of the Allan Houston Foundation and Assistant GM of the NY Knicks and actor Andre Royo (‘The Wire,’  ‘The Great Gatsby’). The interviews are an expansion of Brown’s film From Fatherless to Fatherhood.

Brown says, “In his autobiography, the late John H. Johnson proudly explains that Ebony was "among the earliest and most passionate defenders of Black beauty." Because our sense of beauty and self worth begin at home, few things should be considered more important or beautiful than the love that a father has and shows for his children,” He continues,  “I'm appreciative of the support that I've received from the participants; the team at Ebony.com – Jamilah Lemieux, Melanie Martin and my editor, Kierna Mayo.  Most of all, I look forward to the fruit that this series will bear.”
