The Battle for America Montage
We the people... it's time to take back our country and our constitution!
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, more...every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed"
- Dwight Eisenhower - Supreme Allied Commander

It was after visiting the slave castle of Elmina, in Ghana, that he was inspired to attend film school. For over two years he served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Cote d’Ivoire. The interactions with the people of his village and his overall experiences in West Africa have informed his creative expression; an expression first fostered by his birth in Kingston, Jamaica and migration to, and upbringing in Plainfield, New Jersey. A fluent French speaker, he graduated from Rutgers University with a BA in English and a Masters degree in Education. Since then he has devoted his energy to changing the world by giving a voice to the voiceless and telling stories that otherwise would not be told.
Alrick’s collective work has screened in over thirty film festivals, national and international, and received numerous awards. Three of his films have played Lincoln Center. Recently, he was one of four NYU students featured in the IFC Documentary series “Film School”, produced by Academy award nominee Nannette Burstein. In February 2007 he addressed the Motion Picture Association of America on C-SPAN. At present, he is in pre-production for his thesis film, “Us: A Love Story” and writing his first feature screenplay a thriller titled, “The Shadows.” less
