Joshua Quinn, Julian Robinson, and Angela Van Tassel
It seems that the casting train for Alonge Hawes’s Jaro Media presented series ‘Silver & Gold’ is continuing full steam ahead. Julian Robinson (Black On Both Sides) Joshua Quinn (Hop) and Angela Van Tassel (Black On Both Sides) have all signed on for the series, joining previously announced stars Quentin Williams (Blue Collar Hustle) and Brittaney Traylor (Black On Both Sides).
‘Silver & Gold’, which Jaro Media has described as a “blend of comedy, action, drama, and Afro-futurism set against the backdrop of Atlanta’s criminal underground”; is created, written, and directed by Hawes. It has been set for a release this fall on the platform.
Julian Robinson most recently co-starred alongside Hawes in the critically acclaimed series ‘Black On Both Sides’, which ran for two seasons on Seeka.TV. ‘Black On Both Sides’ was named Best Web Series by the Global Film Festival Awards for its first season. Robinson made his screen debut when he was tapped by Hawes to appear in the second season of the acclaimed web series ‘Blue Collar Hustle’, which ran for two seasons on both Seeka.TV and Kweli TV.
Joshua Quinn, a relative newcomer, is best known for starring in the short film ‘Hop’. He will also appear in the upcoming television series ‘Tree Of Life’ and most recently has starred in various stage plays produced by Aurora Theatre and Actor’s Express. Quinn is repped by STW Talent Agency.
Angela Van Tassel most recently co-starred alongside Hawes and Robinson in both seasons of ‘Black On Both Sides’. She also starred in various roles onstage in productions by Gwinnett Classic Theatre and the Play ‘20th Century Blues’ produced by Live Arts Theatre in late 2019. Van Tassel is repped by Barbara Garvey of East Coast Talent Agency.
‘Silver & Gold is executive produced by Hawes through his company A Million Stories One Pen Productions. Shani Hawes, Quentin Williams, Rodderick Fedd, Cordarol Sanders, Joshua Dennard, and Jamal Mcclendon serve as producers.

Sosa Cruz, the 7 year old basketball prodigy whose skillset has been praised by the likes of Stephen Curry and Te’a Cooper, is set to be the subject of her own documentary, titled ‘It Was Written’.
Directed by her father Roberto “Big Sosa” Cruz Jr. and executive produced by Alonge Hawes, ‘It Was Written’ will chronicle young Sosa’s rise through the amateur basketball circuit. The official synopsis for the film is below:
Sosa Cruz was only 4 years old when her father Roberto told her she was destined to be the greatest basketball player of all time. Roberto, himself a two sport High School star in both Martial Arts and Football, knew that his daughter had the determination, raw talent, and most importantly the focus to make his prediction a reality. Under Roberto’s tutelage and her family’s support, Sosa trained day and night, and through sheer dedication became the first female member of the Decatur Blazers, an AAU youth club for which she was named league MVP during her first season. After several viral videos of her prodigious dribbling skills were broadcast on ESPN’s website, Sosa was invited to appear on The Steve Harvey Show, where she was showered with acclaim from NBA superstar Stephen Curry. As the trophies and accolades began to mount, her father’s prophecy seemed to be all but assured; but personal tragedy and professional setbacks threatened to rob Sosa of the legacy she’d tirelessly built. In this journey of sweat, tears, triumph, and tragedy; one young girl will prove to the world that adversity is no barrier to destiny. For It Was Written…
A new poster and trailer for the film has also been unveiled, which can be viewed below.
‘It Was Written’ will premiere May 10th on YouTube. It is produced by Sarah Cruz, Joshua Dennard, and Asante Watkins.
