Over the years, people have wondered whatever happened to Monty Ross, who co-founded 40 Acres & A Mule with Spike Lee? According to Ross, he’s been honing his craft with a focus on “telling the stories behind our stories” with a film language that uses storytelling via biopics, features, and documentaries.
Ross is currently a Filmmaker-in-Residence at Prince George’s County Community Development Corporation (PGCCDC), working alongside his roommate from Clark Atlanta University, Tolson Banner, founder and executive director of PGCCDC. Together, they have chronicled the life of DC legend John ‘Peterbug’ Matthews in a 47-minute documentary: Let Me Put This BUG In Your Ear: The John ‘Peterbug’ Matthews Story. The film trailer was showcased at Prince George’s County Arts and Humanities Council’s Film Festival at HBCU Bowie State University.
The documentary is now available for viewing on VIMEO for free:
