Be careful of confusing the world that's watching and listening.

    The film Mas Man produced and directed by Dalton Narine won the "Best Director" Award in the Short Documentary category at the Los Angeles International Film Festival last week.

    Band leader and mas' man Peter Minshall is partly the subject of the film. He is not the director. You show a good pix of Dalton Narine but the first line of copy in your article is ambiguous. WST must not only be informative: it must also be accurate.
