"Rotten" Coming This Fall

The Shoe Lady Productions presents "Rotten", an independent film inspired by the book "The Apple Don't Fall Far From the Tree" which was released by Emperial Publishing. "Rotten" is an urban drama which follows the story of Apple, a beautiful, successful and manipulative young lady who vowed be nothing like her mother ends up becoming just like her.

Apple’s hatred for her mother Tami derives from her despicable upbringing and watching multiple men come and go out of their home. Her primary goal in life is to be nothing like her mother but is that even possible? Using men and her body for money is all she witnessed as a child. Her cousins Nycee and Nikita are having men issues as well; one looking for love in all the wrong places while the other falls in love with the wrong man. Apple’s childhood combined with watching their drama unfold has made her ROTTEN…to the core.

Stay in Your Place Red Carpet Movie Premiere

I would like to thank all of those who attended the red carpet premiere for my first film, Stay in Your Place. I would also like to thank everyone who helped promote the film. The premiere was a success! We sold out multiple theaters and it couldn't have happened without you!

#RecalculateYourRoute

In 2009, I tried to have a book release party for 'A Ho Needs to Stay in a Ho's Place' at a popular bar in downtown Detroit and was told no because management felt the title was disrespectful. The Palms on Fenkell Ave which had just opened welcomed me and we shut the place down. The club AND the parking lot was packed. My MySpace friends showed up and showed out! 😂😂😂

Local bookstores wouldn't carry the book because of the title. Only two supported me and that was Michel Moore from Hood Book and Ice from Harlem World.

A bestselling author told me books only have a two year shelf life and with my title I'll probably have less than that.

Whelp here we are in 2016 gearing up for the movie premiere of Stay in Your Place which was inspired by the book and I'm on my way to the post office to ship off autographed copies of the same book. Don't allow people to put you in a box. Boxes have walls therefore they have restrictions. When you're on the freeway and your exit is closed, you don't back up or sit still. Maybe that exit wasn't the route you were supposed to take. Keep going forward until you find YOUR exit. #GetItDone #RecalculateYourRoute #StayInYourPlace

STAY IN YOUR PLACE MOVIE PREMIERE

Saturday, November 5, 2016, at the Bel Air Luxury Cinema at 6 p.m. in Detroit, Michigan, an innovative, independent romantic comedy, titled Stay in Your Place, is making its red carpet debut. This romantic comedy was produced in Detroit by The Shoe Lady Productions and So Real Entertainment. It is based on the bestselling book titled A Ho Needs to Stay in a Ho's Place, written by Tonja Ayers. The book was initially adapted into a groundbreaking stage play, Stay in Your Place, co-written by DuJuan Johnson. After two sold-out shows, the stage play received blazing reviews and accolades. There was a huge thrust of energy to take Stay in Your Place to the next level.

Fast forward three months later. Tonja Ayers and Mi'kiel Los decided to join forces and bring Stay in Your Place to the big screen as an independent film. The book set the pace and the response from the stage play had audiences loving the storyline of the married, ‘wannabe player’ Deshawn and his awkward attempts at juggling his wife and ‘side pieces’, aka women on the side. Now, with the recent revitalization in Detroit’s entertainment industry, it is the perfect time and location for such an edgy-yet-comical urban production. The independent film showcases Detroit’s best theatrical and production talent.

Stay in Your Place was directed by Melissa Talbot and co-directed by Don Snipes. For more information, please contact Shelly Harris at (313) 449-8543 or email info@stayinyourplace.com. Tickets and the movie trailer are both available on www.StayInYourPlace.com.
