Movie producers are members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

When I first heard Greg was back, hanging on campus, I thought he was going through a mid-life crisis twenty years too soon," says Tenele Dennard, cousin of the writer of upcoming Sony / Screen Gems release "Stomp the Yard," opening nationwide January 12.

As audiences across the country prepare to dance down the aisles for the pop culture breakthrough of the season, the creation of the film's story has proven to be just as exhilarating. Originally conceived by writer Gregory Anderson in the mid 90's, the film is an ode to fraternities and sororities at Historically Black Universities. This has special resonance because while writing the original draft, Gregory was a student at FAMU, a historically black institution, where he and his classmates Rob Hardy and Will Packer (Producers of "Stomp the Yard") dreamed of making it in Hollywood. After college, Gregory worked on the script, as he produced independent films with Rob and Will, but eventually other projects took center stage. Gregory hoped one day they could bring that story to life.  more >>
