New York, NY (PRWEB) May 16, 2008 -- Actor Jas Anderson is taking the independent film circuit by storm this year. He is currently appearing in the Independent film "Hug" by director Khary Jones which debuted at the Columbia University Film Festival on Wednesday, April 30th 2008 at 8pm. The movie will also be featured in the Hollywood Black Film Festival in June 4th - 6th 2008. Being the feature actor in this short student film gives Jas Anderson the platform to exercise his explosive on screen talent. The movie "Hug" tells the story of Asa and Drew played by Jas Anderson, a manager and a talented musician on their way to the meeting that could make Drew a star. If Asa has his way, in a matter of hours, Drew will have that record deal. But if Drew has his, Asa will just have to deal. Although it is Drew's bipolarity that today threatens the success they have both worked so hard for, they will only succeed if Asa can learn to be a friend to Drew.
