"The Rise Of A New Classic" - The Jamaica Observer. RiseUp Sneak Preview in Jamaica.
On May 14th, 2010, Jamaica got the first glimpse at RiseUp. A screening for industry, artists, and press was held at the Sovereign Center Cinemas (one of the future homes for RiseUp), where the film was shown to a packed house of 200+people. All artists were in attendance and it was an unforgettable moment. Up to this point, nobody in Jamaica had seen RiseUp. It was the warmest welcome and an overwhelming response to the film, a great finale for another amazing trip to the island.
