On Thursday night, December 11, 2008 Filmmaker/Director Amanda Shelby (a.k.a.: Eboni Knight) invited the public to the Houston Premiere of her short 20-minute film "Love Wouldn't Count Me Out". The premiere was held at the Barbara Jordan - Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs Building on the Campus of the Texas Southern University. If you recall, Amanda was in our November issue of C-47 Houston magazine when she was shooting this film. Using a Canon XH A1 Digital Cam, the film brings out to life a heart-warming drama of love, hate, revenge and betrayal.

This is Amanda's first film effort and based from her life experiences. From what we have seen this film is exceptional and well done. "Love Wouldn't Count Me Out" stars Kendrick Brown and Jordyn Lorenz. Also cast are Victor Kizzine Jr., Brod J and Lateace Town-Cuellar.
