Description: Eleven Twenty-One Entertainment is a faith-based independent production company owned and operated by myself, Neils Williams and my wife and business partner Hellene Alabi-Williams. Our name derived from our wedding anniversary 11.21. We both share a passion for storytelling and we share the same message-God wins. Whether its comedy, drama, romance, or suspense we want to be the light in the midst of the darkness that goes on in the world. We felt that the best story to begin telling was our own in our first feature Stay – a romantic drama. It was inspired by how Hellene and I met and how we managed to overcome every odd against us. It was a story of love, faith, and cultural competence. We managed to produce this film with everything we had within the shoe-string budget of 65,000USD. We were blessed with talent who were willing to work with us and a talented family crew. The Las Vegas Black Film Festival has nominated Stay for best feature, and awarded Stay for Best Romance and Best Screenplay. Stay was also selected The African Film Festival and pending distribution. HELLENE ALABI-WILLIAMS- The Director/Producer I am from Lagos, Nigeria and began my film career featuring in Nollywood works such as the acclaimed soap opera Tinsel and featuring in films such as Don’t Cry For me (starring Yvonne Nelson and Joseph Benjamin) and Road To Redemption (Directed by Jeta Amata). After coming to America I began my film debut directing and starring in our first feature film Stay. My passion for storytelling goes beyond films. I’m an avid blogger on blogspot and I have a published novel Greener Pastures-a west African drama. I do plan to direct Dinner NEILS WILLIAMS- The Writer/Producer I was born and raised in Missouri.
