As if life couldn’t get any sweeter for Brooklyn documenter DJ Scripz, it has. His film, The Haitian Polo Documentary was awarded Best Documentary Film by the Motion Picture Association of Haiti, Inc’s Haitian Movie Awards.
The MPAH Movie Awards which commences in Boston, Massachussets, honors actors and filmmakers for work displayed in theaters or released on DVD.
Scripz’s The Haitian Polo Documentary focuses on New York City at a time where Polo, Nike, Fila, Tommy Hilfiger, Bally and other high end fashion was a no-brainer to have for the affluent and a necessity for the neighborhood hustler.
Haitians were also looking to have that signature look like everyone else but faced ridicule. The documentary, produced, directed and funded by DJ Scripz has been the talk of the town locally in NYC with Scripz appearing on Power 105 and Hot 97 . “Man I was so happy to receive this award,” DJ Scripz told RESPECT Magazine by phone. “It’s great to be honored for my work and this is just the beginning. It was awesome to come out to Boston, Massachussetts for the momentous occasion. Kudos to the MPAH for acknowledging our project.”
