Alonge Hawes Bestowed Prestigious “Don’t Wait, Create!” Honor at 2024 New Jersey Webfest​

Filmmaker Alonge Hawes was awarded the ‘Michael Ajakwe Jr ‘Don’t Wait, Create!’ trophy on Sunday evening at the 7th New Jersey Webfest, one of two specialty themed awards given annually at the festivals awards gala.

Hawes entered the night as a nominee for Best Director in a Thriller and Outstanding Script for his series ‘Silver & Gold’, a heist series centered around four high-class thieves in Atlanta who band together to pull off ever escalating capers. A successful screening of the series ninth episode, titled “The Children of Geb’ on Saturday evening seemingly hadn’t prepared Hawes for the honor, as a look of surprise engulfed his face when board member Ned Donovan called his name as the recipient. While thanking his late mother Pantheah Hawes and daughter Amina, Hawes spoke on the importance both provided in his life as inspirations and creative muses.

“I want to take this moment to thank two people who continually inspired me since this journey began. My mother Pantheah Hawes, and my daughter Amina. Amina, daddy loves you and I hope I keep making you proud.”

The ‘Don’t Wait, Create!’ award is named in honor of Michael Ajakwe Jr. A prominent writer and producer who wrote for hit television shows such as Martin, Sister, Sister, Moesha, and Unsung. In 1995, Ajakwe won an Emmy award for his work producing E’s Talk Soup, and in 2008 he received the city of Inglewood Beacon of Light award. In 2010, he created the world’s first film festival dedicated to web and digital series, the LAWEBFEST, which continues to run and operate. Ajakwe Jr passed away in 2018 after a three-year battle with pancreatic cancer.


New Jersey Webfest director and CEO Neem Basha describes the ‘Michael Ajakwe Jr ‘Don’t Wait, Create!’ award as “An award in recognition of excellence in filmmaking. It is not designed to honor an artist’s submitted or nominated project but rather their entire body of work and it’s impact on the web series community.” Past recipients of the award include critically acclaimed multi-hyphenates Joshua Pangborn, Jessica Alexandra Green, and Herman Wang.

Alonge Hawes first burst onto the scene in 2017 with the critically acclaimed web series Blue Collar Hustle, which launched on YouTube and went on to be broadcast on several streaming platforms including Seeka.TV, GoIndietv, and Kweli TV. Hawes created, wrote, directed and starred in the series two seasons, which collected over 50 awards at numerous film festivals in the United States and abroad. He followed that success with the series Black On Both Sides, which he again created, wrote, directed and starred in. Black On Both Sides ran for two successful seasons on Seeka.TV, meeting with acclaim and numerous awards. His recent endeavor, Silver & Gold, in which he created, wrote and directed, concluded its first 10-episode season in July on Jaro Media.

The animated project known as The Uptown Chronicles will be planting a flag in the tristate area, as it’s been announced that the inaugural trailer for the project has been named as an early selection to the New Jersey Webfest.

This selection marks the first festival induction of the year for The Uptown Chronicles. The critically acclaimed trailer for the forthcoming movie, comic and television series had been previously selected by the 2024 iterations of the Rome Prisma Movie Awards, Oniros Film Awards, and Reims Red Movie Awards; winning Best Trailer for all three.

The Uptown Chronicles is described as “an ambitious multi-media project, encompassing cinema, television, comic books, podcasts and games.” The nearly 5-minute trailer for the project introduces viewers to a futuristic Chicago in the year 2100, where marvels such as flying cars and servant drones are a normal part of daily existence. It is in this setting that we are introduced to the Hamilton family. Led by scientist father Andre and guardian mother Maya, their 5 children – gifted chef Tasha, bookish introvert Sienna, slacker son Ty, and prodigies Jordan and Keira – learn from their parents about their destinies as the last descendants of an ancient magical order tasked with maintaining balance in the world. When a mysterious threat in the form of a giant robot called Neocron appears, the children awaken their powers of super strength, telekinesis, speed, and technological manipulation to face this devastating foe. The trailer can be viewed at the link below.

The Uptown Chronicles is created by Steven Goard, who also voices the lead character of Andre Hamilton. The upcoming film, series, and comic book are written by award winning multi-hyphenate Alonge Hawes, who also co-directs and co-executive produces alongside Goard. Art design is commissioned by Patrick King with animation provided by Dom Fred Films. The project features the vocal talents of Jasmin Richardson, who voices matriarch Maya. Major Attaway, who plays the villainous Victor Hyde. Maria Katre, who voices Tasha. Zane “Lil Zane” Copeland, who voices Ty. Shani Hawes, who voices Sienna. Mina Kraynak, who voices Keira. Arinze, who voices Jordan. And Jason C. Louder, who voices Tariq Lattimore. Goard produces through SDG Productions whilst Hawes produces through A Million Stories One Pen Productions. Jason C. Louder and Joshua Dennard also serve as producers.

The New Jersey Web Festival, created and run by Neem Basha, launched in 2018 and has since become one of the biggest, most prestigious, and respected film festivals dedicated to supporting and honoring independent film makers in web and podcast mediums. In addition to digital series and podcasts, the New Jersey Web Festival also works to highlight pilots, scripts, trailers and music videos from independent creators nationwide and abroad. It is ranked as one of FilmFreeway’s best reviewed festivals and networking mixers. The festival’s long-standing adage is that “Quality Is the Only Criteria: We Want ToShowcase The Very Best.”

The New Jersey Web Festival will take place September 25-28th, with special screenings of official selections being held at the Clairidge Movie Theater in Montclair, New Jersey.
