Primetime Creative Arts Emmys: Photos We Love

Atif R. Lanier was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Growing up he aspired to be a veterinarian who eventually owned his own zoo. After two internships at the Philadelphia Zoo he realized that this was not the career path for him. Confused, he was not sure what he was going to do with his life. Around this same he attended church during the middle of the week where there was a posting for actors to be in the church's annual Christmas play. Atif auditioned, and thought nothing of it. Not only did he get a part, but he was cast as the lead. With the acting bug nipping all over his body Atif began not only to pursue acting, but began to write plays and screenplays based on his life. From this HarMageddo Entertainment was born.

Since then Atif has gone on to pen plays such as "7 Days til Justice", "If it Ain't Got that Swing" and "Escape From Capture." He also co-wrote the award winning comedic short "The Negro Zone" and "He Got Billz." The sky is the limit!

Of all the movies made there are two movies I can relate to the most.
House Party and Boyz n the hood. So much to the point I get chills when
I watch them!
