(February 13, 2026) - "She's playing me," said Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award winning film director Mann Robinson about actress Jasmine Burke ("Saints & Sinners") who stars in his latest film released today (February 13, 2026) called Georgia Peach. "Not my whole entire life...35-40%. She wanted to do levels."

Jasmine is not only the lead actress in Georgia Peach, but she co-produced it with Mann. The story line follows a former alcoholic, their struggles and triumphs. Jasmine plays Jannie Salisburty, a nurse who has three years of being sober. Then a dream type opportunity comes that threatens to "push her off the wagon."

"She wanted to make a film on substance abuse. I said alcohol," Mann continued. "I wanted to make sure it was not boring. So, I made a female lead with talent."

"Jasmine....I had seen what she has done, and she saw what I've done," Robinson added when I asked why he picked to work with her.

Aside from Jasmine Burke starring in Georgia Peach, there is Cocoa Brown (BET's "Comic View"), Teresa Celeste (Fight Night...") and a cameo appearance by Karyn White ("Super Woman"). Robinson recently held a red-carpet film premiere in Georgia for the film and released it on Apple TV and Amazon Prime today (February 13th).

Jasmine also sings the title track, "Georgia Peach," from the soundtrack for Georgia Peach. The single was released February 6th. I asked Mann about her vocal talent.

"She's both (a singer and an actress). She produced it with me as well. It's a country type of song," he said.

"I wasn't nervous," Mann said to me when I asked because his red-carpet premiere was the next day. "I hold these quit often. I have just released another project on Amazon Prime today, ‘Turnt AF' a TV series...and lots of others."

"I want to tell young people...we don't have to drink or get high. So, I wrote the script to tell the truth. I experienced some of the things that are in the script," he said. "I also wrote a book about being sober."

I asked Mann Robinson where the title of his film came from and he said, "It's a name that doesn't say I was a drunk. A Georgia peach is like a crown of Georgia."

Robinson said one day he just decided to stop drinking. He has been 15 years sober. Other film credits of the "artist" include the thriller Sebastian, Super Turnt, On Ten, and Broad Day."

"I was a successful entrepreneur while drinking," he said. "A computer store. In 2010...I picked up the camera. I used to rap too back in the day! I'm artistic. I can draw too. When films got digital it was a no-brainer. A guy traded in an electronic camera...I played with it. I still have it! Camera's use to cost a million, then 100,000..."

Robinson picked up the camera and put down the bottle to go from one type of success to another. Amazing filmmaker as is his projects. Georgia Peach, not at Apple TV and Amazon Prime. www.MannRobinson.com www.MannRobinsonDistribution.com

The Pulse of Entertainment: Dr. Earl Bynum Celebrates 35 Years in Gospel as a Recording Artist, Radio Host, Choir Director, Author and Record Label Owner

(February 9, 2026) - "I just go with whatever the flow is," said Dr. Earl Bynum when I pointed out, he must be a great organizer because of all that he does (recording artist, songwriter, producer, radio show host, choir director, TV personality, music minister, vocal arranger, record label owner (Lrae Entertainment), author and board leader). "I started as early as six years old...playing the piano...88 key piano...by ear, no lessons. I grew up in a Pentecostal church...they threw me on the piano!"

Celebrating 35 years in the Gospel music industry, Dr. Bynum is a two-time Stellar Award winner for "Contemporary Male Vocals." Aside from his Gospel recording career, he hosts a Gospel syndicated radio show, "One Stage with Earl Bynum," and has his own record label Lrae Entertainment which has three artists on its roster.

"I started the label because my son wanted to do music," Earl said when I asked.

His radio show started because he simply asked for one to the right person at the right time. The show was birth in 2000 at 100.1.FM WBXB in a late-night slot. Then in 2005 it was picked up by Musical Soulfood 100.9FM WFMI (a network of radio stations). His show has been in syndication (2009) for 15 years (with co-host Stellar winning Lucinda Moore) - heard in 45 markets.

"It's on the weekends, Saturdays (10am - 12pmEST) in 45 markets," he said. "It started on Sundays as a R&B/Indie Gospel morning show - 160 stations - Rejoice Network (formerly Music Soulfood) of Mike Chandler. He is an African-American."

Dr. Earl Bynum produced his show himself and then he started to hire co-producers like Ray Pope in 2007.

"It's produced now by Cedric Bailey. We work well together. He is a radio producer and programmer...a multi-Stellar Award winner," Dr. Bynum said when I asked about who producers his radio show now. "I let him do what-he-do. I come in as a client."

His music career started at Light Records where he worked with some talented producers and released "My Change Has Come" in 2004. He released his solo debut album on Catapult Records in 2009 titled "Open My Heart".

"That project got me into radio," Dr. Bynum pointed out. "They came to my listening party. I said, ‘if you looking...let me now.' He called me...for a local show for independent artists."

If all this is not enough, he is also National Chairman Dr. Bynum of the GMWA Alliance of Gospel Music Professionals; Executive Advisor Dr. Bynum of the Tidewater Chapter of GMWA; Eastern Regional Chair Dr. Bynum of The National Association of Gospel Radio; Vice President Dr. Bynum of The Gospel Industry Network; Executive Director Dr. Bynum of The Mount Global Fellowship of Churches (seven campuses), and President Dr. Bynum of Lrae Entertainment record label. He is also the author of the book "Still Standing: 30 Days of Strength When Life Hits Hard."

"I am serving as senior vice president of the Gospel Industry Network of Bishop Kenneth Wells and regional director of the National Association of Gospel Radio - from Virginia to Connecticut - 13 states! And I was appointed executive advisor of Gospel Music Network (Workshop) of America (local chapter) by Al Hobbs, and I am on the board of Hymn for Hymns of David Allen. It is to keep hymns alive," Dr. Earl Bynum said as we concluded our interview.  www.LraeEntertainment.com www.EarlBynumMusic.com
