PRESS QUOTES
“While “Under Ceege” is a uniquely Michigan tale that lets the audience be a fly on the wall of a specific Black family, it’s a story that resonates with people from all walks of life in the Mitten State and beyond.”
“…a compelling look at a fragmented black family struggling to survive financially and emotionally in modern America that can be harsh on people who haven’t made all the right choices or given equitable opportunities.”
