Southern Girl: Monica Mingo

Let me tell you about your life: If you are not living YOUR dream, doing what YOU love to do…you just ain’t living that right life! LOL I am SUPER blessed to know some people who are fully and completely living THEIR dream.

One such person is writer/director/filmmaker and all around dope Southern Girl Monica Mingo. Let me tell ya’ll how super bad she is: Monica, along with fellow bad a$$, Baltimore Raven NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Terrell Suggs, just debuted their FIRST FEATURE FILM at the American Black Film Festival in Miami. 

*Faints*

Gon wrap your head around that there! Do you even know how big that is!?????

The trailer link is at the bottom of this post but here is a synopsis:

The bad boys club is really not all that bad. Young,

rich and handsome...the boys know how to have a good time. They love

women, fast cars and doing whatever they want to do. There comes a

time in life, however, when karma is helped along. When it's done by a

group of scorned women...it can prove to be devastating.

Prime Alexander is a professional athlete living the life most men

dream of.  He has a huge guaranteed contract, beautiful women chasing

him and the best friends a man could want.

He gets what he wants, when he wants it and doesn’t believe in

explaining himself to anyone, especially Autumn, the beautiful woman

he’s been dating for a little over a year.

Autumn Singletary is a wealthy socialite who doesn’t understand the

word no.  Her relationship with Prime has more to do with appearances

than real feelings but that’s of no consequence when Prime decides to

end their relationship by publicly humiliating her in the presence of

his new interest, Skylar.

The bond Prime shares with his boys, Lonzo, Kalif and Dallas has been

nurtured throughout the years as the main constant in their life.

They are always together.  They are always taking care of each other.

They are a true pack and have the secrets and the code to prove it.

1080 for life.

Lonzo, Prime’s very best friend, is an actor on the verge of being the

next big thing.  He’s falling in love with the beautiful Katalina, one

of Autumn’s best girlfriends. He believes he’s at the age where he

needs to think about settling down and look to his parents’ marriage

as inspiration.

Kalif is the youngest of the crew and is seriously addicted to women,

especially his fiance, Shanita.  He’s a hot A&R executive and his

career allows him the flexibility to juggle multiple women.  Kalif and

Shanita have been together since their teenage years and she’s the

love of his life.  He’s messed up a few times and has children by

other women to prove it.  He truly loves Shanita more than anything in

the world and he couldn’t imagine life without her so he takes all of

the steps necessary to make sure she’s happy and doesn’t go looking

for anything.

Dallas is a super arrogant playboy without a care in the world who

prides himself on the chase.  Women are a game for him and he loves

adding to his conquests.  He loves the strategic nature of the hunt

and plays the game a little too well.

A chance encounter gives Autumn the ammunition she needs to create an

unlikely alliance by which to shut Prime and his pack down and she

doesn’t give a damn who gets hurt.  As a woman scorned, she is out for

revenge.  By forming a coalition, Autumn proves she will show no mercy

while getting what she thinks she wants.

Everyone always wants the riches and the fame professional athletes

have.  “The Coalition” shows us that all that glitters is certainly

not ideal and forces us to consider how difficult love is within the

confines of the industry and all that money can buy.
