The Skip Thomas Project
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Director Mike Berry only days before the premier of his 2 feature short films Secrets and Things Revealed.
Urban Suburban Chic: Who is Skip Thomas? Why is it called the Skip Thomas Project?
Mike: Skip Thomas was my uncle who passed in 1989 and this is my tribute to him and Lillian Thomas, my grandmother.
Urban Suburban Chic: Is your background in entertainment or something else?
Mike: As far as me, I've been at it since 85, non stop. I started out rapping eventually getting to the top 100 albums on the Billboard charts, as well as a top 20 single in April of 2000 "Me without a Rhyme" I also put out several mix tapes over the years and published my first novel in 2006, The Dangerous Times.
Urban Suburban Chic: I hate to be ahead of myself but whats next for Mike Berry?
My next project slated for late March is called BANGER...a horror movie, I will start casting in December so watch out!
Urban Suburban Chic: What should the world know about Mike Berry?
I'm an artist, simple and plain. This is what i do, I create things.
At the premier you can expect energy, excitement and love for one of the cities sons' The love is definitely coming in and I appreciate it greatly!
Urban Suburban Chic: you can say that again, there is definitely excitement in the air for the premiere and for you too! I will see you on the Red Carpet, any parting words?
All that can be expected from me is more of the same...HUSTLING...my motto is...TO THE TOP OR BROKE!
Indeed Mr. Berry, indeed!
