Films

At a high school reunion what happened in the past stays in the past...right?

Director:  Anastasia O'Brien

Producers: Anastasia O'Brien and Allan West

Creators: Allan West
Writer:  Allen West
Genre:  C​omedy​

Music:  DL

Two female foes meet up in the Ladies Restroom at a 10 year school reunion. After a few false pleasantries, the catty lines and claws are out in no time.  No amount of Botox can hide true feelings!  What IS the history between these two anyway? 

Allan West (Writer)

 

 

Allan West has been spending the last 20 years bashing away aimlessly at a keyboard in the hope that one day the result will be a procession of words and hopefully sentences that tell a story.  Occasionally he has been successful, resulting in over ten short films being made by independent filmmakers who can see some kind of quality in Allan’s key-bashing escapades.

 

He plans to continue to do this until either a feature film script magically appears or those kind men in white coats escort him to a happier place.

Daniel Laurent (“DL”) has performed all throughout Boston, booking colleges, generating mini tours in NH, performing at various clubs in New York City as well as even doing an impromptu performance with a live band for Ms. Janice Combs (Sean Combs mother) for her birthday celebration.

 

His debut cd spawned his most successful song to date, “MASSterpiece (The Anthem),” which went on to become the most requested single by a local or national artist according to WERS 88.9FM. It also got significant airplay on Hot 97.7, Jamn 94.5 as well as other college radio stations in the New England region. The momentum continued when XM Satellite radio picked it up and added it to their “The City” radio channel generating interest in other markets.

 

DL formed Self Made Entertainment to provide his own vehicle to release his own media, created an online blog about everything Hip Hop in Boston, the very successful venture of MASSterpiece Radio (internet radio that garnered 50k listeners), and has been featured on over 20 artists’ feature albums, compilations and mixtapes.

 

His newest release is “Hustler’s Spirit: The Idea.”
