DARK SEED customer testimonies:

​

Just watched the movie 🎥. Enjoyed the depth of the characters. Black Men and Women need need friends to share their experiences with. It’s good to see positive portrayals of our people as husbands and wives in loving relationships. As a man it is important for us to have male  friends who tell us like it is. We need brothers to be honest with their friends. Forgiveness is so important, since as humans mistakes are inevitable. We must forgive ourselves and others in order to get closure. The mentorship of young men is our opportunity to model manhood. To be a man you need to see a man. Great Movie !--Airborne

"Wow! 100% believable acting, It felt like no one was acting, more like I was a fly on the wall of people's real lives. Additional touches in the film are  Emon's boss looking at his hand after shaking Emon's hand to express her sweaty palms. Using white fade outs and a real spoken word poet perform the DARK SEED poem written by the screenwriter for the wedding anniversary scene.  Furthermore, the camera work was a major contributor which augmented the phenomenal acting. Additionally, the photo stills sequences were timed and impactful."

"Friends and family. A dear friend of mine has poured her heart and souls into this beautiful, heart wrenching and relationship focused film. I was blown away by her shear talent and openness to reveal the struggles we go through with trying to love, grow and nurture our mates. China Letish Colston, I would purchase this again and again. Congrats to you and your journey sista. You left chicago a determined lil flame and now you a full blown torch for others.
Thank you for taping in to the uncomfortable areas that are hard to discuss yet so needed. People need to know there are ways of over coming trauma but more importantly they are not alone.
Buy this movie, support the arts of young film makers and tell your stories.

Big ups China!!!"-- Furniture designer, Norman Teague

​

The premise  and content of DARK SEED is timeless and and most importantly, necessary for those who ponder past choices, that may haunt many. I encourage parents to view it with their sons and daughters. It's a very conscious awakening, compelling and moving film. with vibrations of passion and unconditional love that sadly, we don't see in a lot of African American movies. My children and I are impatiently waiting for empress China Letish Colston to announce her next creation.  Artist change the world (Much Respect Goddess)"
