Clovis has been a film editor for more than 10 years, but the "Be Reel" contest was his first attempt at directing. Clovis edited the trailer for the 2007 ABFF Blockbuster Award winning movie "I'm Through with White Girls". Clover also edited the trailer and movie entitled "Sarbane's Oxley".
Clovis won for his film "The Lucky Suit," the story of one community coming together to help an individual become a success. Clovis will receive a $5,000 cash prize and a coaching session with American Black Film Festival founder and The Film Life, Inc. CEO Jeff Friday. Clovis plans to invest the cash prize in an upcoming feature film project.
Clovis, a Cornell University alum, applauds the forum the "Be Reel" contest and the Beyond February campaign provides. "The 'Be Reel' competition gave me the opportunity to create a film that delivers a message that demonstrates how something seemingly small can be so important to others. I wanted to inspire and motivate people to give back through small acts of kindness, like donating an old suit you've outgrown to help someone in the community become a success," Clovis said.
Beyond February is a national initiative designed to highlight Allstate's ongoing efforts to create, support and sponsor programs that empower the African-American community beyond Black History Month. As presenting sponsor of the ABFF, Allstate hopes to inspire up and coming filmmakers like Clovis to create positive images that are about and emanate from the African American community.
