"Black Men Don't Cheat" - Private Hollywood Screening

Samantha Mack is red carpet ready to support fellow filmmakers at the Hollywood Confidential Screening Series Presents…BLACK MEN DON’T CHEAT SCREENING!

Join us for a free screening of the 2025 ESSENCE Festival Winning Pilot, Black Men Don’t Cheat, from filmmaker and actor Michael Arcell!

The bold new comedy series is peeling back the myths of modern relationships, faith, and Black masculinity. Anchored by Arcell’s triple-threat performance as Chad, his impulsive alter ego Meat, and his conscience Dudley, the show weaves surreal humor, spiritual narration, and emotional honesty into a uniquely resonant viewing experience.

The series features rising star Brittney Ayona Clemons, whose performances in Issa Rae's Rap Sh!t, Insecure, and BET+'s drama Caught Up have established her as a force of depth and versatility. Alongside her, Yasmine Alfakey delivers a fresh and magnetic screen presence — a rising talent with undeniable charisma and emotional intensity, introduced to many in her role in Subversion and now taking center stage in Black Men Don’t Cheat.

Blending satire, vulnerability, and cultural commentary, the show has already sparked buzz among industry leaders at Netflix, UTA, MACRO, HartBeat Productions, and beyond. Join us for a night of laughter, culture, and conversation — and experience the pilot everyone’s talking about!

Happening on Thursday, August 28th, from 7pm to 10pm, join us for a screening, cast convo hosted by special guests, and a reception! As always, #HollywoodConfidential is free of charge to attend. Doors open at 6:30pm.
