Long-time readers of this blog should be familiar with Seith Mann; last year, we featured his critically-acclaimed, impressive 20-minute short film called Five Deep Breaths, his Nyu Mfa thesis project in 2002, which helped get Mann work, directing several television shows – notably episodes of HBO’s hit, The Wire.
Television producer Robert F.

Mann had been working on a feature film script titled Come Sunday, which was to be his debut.
