Christopher Cherot's Work is Delicious

I love how Cherot's films are filled with heart and humor. They make you laugh, they make you think. Good stuff.

My only complaint about TMGroupie was that it was too blanking short. I really want another full length film from Cherot. The characters in this movie were very realistic, completely believable. Though as you watch the male groupie, his actions make you cringe a little. Great character depictions. Wonderful performance by Omari.

Another thing I enjoy about Cherot's films is the great job he does of portraying real African Americans. Middle class Black Americans are SO under-portrayed and poorly portrayed in films. Always a nice perk of Cherot's movies.

The Male Groupie is a short by quality film. If you love Cherot's directing style and voice, you'll enjoy this film.
