Comment This filmmaker's notability would derive from his two feature films. Neither has been distributed theatrically or received wide attention. The sources may be considered questionable as well. The Hollywood Reporter would be an exception, but that is merely a snippet about the Bahamas International Film Festival. It is not about the article's subject and the Festival itself is arguably not notable, though this point's relevance is questionable... The Festival was founded in 2004 and is not considered major by any standards. Zigmundbratwurst (talk) 04:27, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect To The Black Moses, which is the subject's only apparent claim to notability. The film broke local records in DVD sales, seriously. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 16:59, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking local record sales, in theory, is not necessarily notable. Nevertheless, the claim is unsubstantiated. The source, which seems legitimate, says 10,000 copies of the DVD sold after categorizing the sales differently. This claim itself is not backed up anywhere else. Would, in theory, 10,000 sales meet notability standards for the film? Certainly not, when considered alone, for the Director... The claim of distribution deals and theatrical releases are substantiated nowhere and there has been little to no coverage in the United States. Coverage seems restricted to The Bahamas.
