Paige Moreland and Kristen Moreland, two of six teenagers featured in the documentary film PLAY AGAIN, were invited to represent the film at the Pan African American Film Festival in Los Angeles. Before heading to L.A., Paige said, “I feel so blessed to be able to share our message with a predominantly black audience. It means so much to me to be part of a festival full of my people – not as we are typically portrayed in the media but as beautiful and talented people doing amazing things.” The cousins met actors, directors, and producers and had fun on the red carpet while spreading the word about the issues raised in PLAY AGAIN.
