The urban fiction crime thriller novel, Dodging Bullets, is set for an August 10, 2020 release date. The book was penned by two New Orleans natives, Kentrell Myers, of Blackkkash, and Michael Gerald of 5Picture Films, and features its very own original soundtrack.

Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA – What makes Dodging Bullets more unique than most books is that it is being released with an accompanying original soundtrack featuring local music artists like New Orleans based trumpeter, Kid Merv, playing on the books themes song, “Bridging The Gap” by Bizzystackss. Other artist on the soundtrack will include, Bobby Love, Niko Lorraine, Moby The Plug, Laura De Fazio, Iten Baby, Mainrida, and Yung Dellyy.

Kentrell Myers of Blackkkash, a New Orleans based music production company, and Michael Gerald a writer and filmmaker with 5Picture Films, a Los Angeles based production company, are the brains behind the Dodging Bullets project.

Gerald has also been chosen to write the feature screenplay for the adaptation of the book into a movie, and is being considered to direct the film. When asked about the opportunity to write the screenplay Gerald says, “I am excited to have had the opportunity to co-write the book. It feels really good to have been a part of helping Kentrell bring his story to life on paper.

Myers, primarily a music producer and union electrician, says, “I was introduced to Mike by his cousin as a referral to help me finish write a book. But, I never thought it would be like this. I am amazed at how things came together, because I was just focused on trying to tell a good story.”

Stay tuned for a Dodging Bullets sequel, as the pair has hinted that they see Dodging Bullets more like an episodic than a one-off.
