EXCLUSIVE: Multimedia mogul Lenard “Charlamagne Tha God” Mckelvey has boarded the documentary short In the Bubble with Jaime as an executive producer, ahead of its weekend premiere at the Montclair Film Festival.

In the Bubble examines Jaime Harrison’s 2020 Senate run against Lindsey Graham. Harrison, an African American Democrat from Orangeburg, South Carolina, raised more money during his campaign than any Senate candidate ever has.

And in doing so, he has attracted a nationwide audience to the South Carolina race. Pic features never-before-seen footage of Harrison and his campaign team during the crux of the race and explores the challenges that Harrison had to navigate while running for office, including the Covid pandemic and the legacy of racism in the American South.

Emily Harrold directed the short and produced it with Seth Gadsden. Charlamagne Tha God is joined as an EP by Jedd Canty, Dara Canty and Karen Kinney.  “Jaime’s campaign was historic for many reasons, and I am happy to be supporting another South Carolina native who is working to make things better for people across the South and across the US,” said Charlamagne Tha God. “This documentary offers an unvarnished behind the scenes look at one of the most followed campaigns of 2020 and I am proud to be a part of the team bringing this powerful and inspiring story to audiences across the nation.” Check out the trailer for In the Bubble with Jaime below. *** EXCLUSIVE: Danny Trejo (Machete) has found his next project in the actioner Pug from writer-director Jason Velo, which has wrapped production.
