Video Story Treatment: “The Barber’s Diaries”
Filmmaker and director Kevin Willmott has teamed with Outpost Worldwide – an independent film and HD video production studio – and writer David Henderson to bring a remarkable, very timely and inspiring story to television screens. It’s The Barber’s Diaries, the story of Charles Everett Ellis, who was a barber in Altamont, a small Illinois town during the 1920s, and the only black man in town. We believe we, as a nation, are at a historic time when such a story carries a profound message.
Kevin recently sat down in an Outpost Worldwide studio to talk about the importance and timeliness of the project.

People came out and took pictures of us because some of them had never seen blacks in their life. This was in the mid 50′s I was 3 yrs.old.
