“This issue is very special to me. It highlights many of my favorite childhood to adulthood Black Women in Film & Television,” explained Angel L. Brown-Ross, Editor-In-Chief of CINEMATIQ. “I also had an amazing time and learned a lot, interviewing Leslie Harris who wrote, produced and got her film, “Just Another Girl On The I.R.T.” distributed in the 90’s.” “ I am super excited about REEL READY, guest columnist, Leyla T. Rosario, cinematographer of the new series, “The Bridge.” It is particularly essential for this magazine to highlight as many women cinematographers, producers, writers, women in general ‘behind’ the lens, showing one range/ depth and knowledge of the art; something I plan to cover in every issue.”

I hope this magazine will be available in stores in Philadelphia, starting with the first issue. I’m an aspiring film maker and a freshman at college and I hope to own the first issue of Cinematiq as well as the others. Hopefully you can make the issues available in Borders, Books-A-Million and/or Rite Aid, CVS, just available.
Hello Rosalyn,
We are working hard to make that happen! We already have offers for distribution, however, ownership is very important to us. The only way advertisers will find us worthy is if the people find us worthy enough to invest in themselves by purchasing a 1 year subscription. You have the option of purchasing the SINGLE Issue you want or SUBSCRIBING exclusively at http://www.cinematiqmag.com. A copy of the magazine will be sent to you within the allotted time.
The first year for us is very crucial. I am asking everyone to not only subscribe but get your church production board, universities, family, friends to subscribe as well. You do not have to be a film student to enjoy the magazine.
Thank you for taking a moment to writing your thoughts on the blog spot. Your best wishes are appreciated.
Warmly,
Team CINEMATIQ!
