LOS ANGELES, CA – Members of the cast of the FX hit series SNOWFALL  will discuss the importance of continuing the legacy of show creator John Singleton–one of the greatest storytellers of all time, and how FX’s SNOWFALL honored his vision. The panel will take place at the PAN AFRICAN FILM & ARTS FESTIVAL (PAFF) at the Cinemark Baldwin Hills & XD (4020 Marlton Ave.) on MON., FEB. 20 AT 6 P.M.  The panel is FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC to attend.  RSVP at paff.org, keyword “Snowfall”.

AMIN JOSEPH (Jerome Saint), MICHAEL HYATT (Cissy Saint), and GAIL BEAN (Wanda Bell) will reflect on his memory together and share stories about the man they knew closely as a trailblazer, artist, mentor, and friend and how his legacy lives forever, through the powerful and unapologetically real stories he told that shared the beauty and hardships of the Black experience in America. 

The sixth and final season of SNOWFALL will return Feb. 22 at 10 p.m. ET on FX, and stream the next day on Hulu, the network announced. The premiere will include the first two episodes of the 10-episode final season.

Since 1992, PAFF has remained dedicated to the promotion of Black stories and images through the exhibition of film, visual art, and other creative expression. Today, PAFF is one of the largest and most prestigious Black film festivals in the U.S. and attracts local, national, and international audiences.
