10 years in the making


Here is an excerpt ...

I finally connected via phone with Abdul Williams—the award-winning screenwriter of BET’s “THE BOBBY BROWN STORY ” —10 years in the making.  In an almost cliche scene, I took the call inside my favorite Harlem coffee shop, Cafe One a location that many young screenwriters call home.

Here is what Abdul Williams had to share about his journey. 

Amsterdam News:
Ten years to get “THE BOBBY BROWN STORY ” to screen sounds like a long time.  I remember the buzz about your screenplay how it was “all on the page” which is high praise in Hollywood.

Abdul Williams:
Thank you. Ten years is a long time but between that, there was a Writers Strike (2007) and Bobby held out on the contract. During the in-between years, I wrote many drafts and BET had always been interested, but they kept going through different regime changes but it finally worked out.
