“Abiiba, Thank you for giving me the opportunities to audition for your projects. You have done a lot for everybody in Houston in this business. Thanks again.”
“Most seminars are a waste of time and money. When I decided to get into the movie business, I didn’t know where to start. I called the Houston Film Commission and on the announcement was, “Getting Into the Movies Seminar”, so I signed up. It was on a Saturday morning and almost didn’t happen. Only two people showed up, Michelle Fitzgerald and myself. Abiiba decided to have it anyway and thank God she did. I took the instruction Abiiba gave us and ran with it. That was years ago. Now I have an agent, I’ve been in plays, commercials, industrials, TV talk shows and movies…. Thank you Abiiba Howell, for getting me started in the right direction.
“Abiiba – Thanks for the encouraging words. I just got cast in a play last week…. I’ve had some movie auditions and commercial auditions lately, so, you’re right, you never know what they’re looking for, so I try for everything I can. …And you started me off with your Getting Into the Movies workshop! That was my first introduction to classes, and it got me off to a good start. Thanks. Best wishes. Thanks again.”
“Abiiba, Thank you for your generous help. Your talent seems magical to me, and your magic has transformed our show. Love, ”

“Dear Abiiba, Thank you for the quality work you have done for the city… I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

“Abiiba and all the staff at Dominion Films, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work on Aging With Grace! It was a challenge and we LOVED IT! But we couldn’t have done it without your special gift as a director – for you certainly set the atmosphere and the rest just flowed like water. Again, thank you… .”
“Abiiba, Just a quick note to say, THANKS for your time and energies in not only auditioning, but in guiding those of us seeking wisdom in the ways of the entertainment industry! You’ve been extremely helpful and I greatly appreciate your efforts. God Bless,”
“Abiiba, Well, it took a job for me getting around to writing you a thank you note for the tip on the zinc…. I was glad Floyd had a job to call you again and glad to hear you are doing well. Hope to see you again and work with you again soon. It’s nice for Floyd to have someone he can trust and have one less worry on his shoots. Thanks again,”
“Dear Abiiba, You must have ESP! The day I got your letter, I was going to send you a thank-you note!! I had a great time on the 2012 Olympic Bid commercial (even though you can’t see me. I was inside the limo – bummer!!) I met some really nice people and had a swell time. Thanks sooo much for letting me be a part of it all! Your friend,”
“Abiiba, Thank you for the wonderful gathering last Sunday. It was an exciting event that I enjoyed being a part of. I won’t expect you to remember me, but we met again when you first came out of the limo. I just wanted to write to you and congratulate you and wish you the best with Dominion Films. I was impressed with the emphasis you put on the Lord. Being a Christian, it’s exciting to me to see that in a typically secular business. I would be very interested in meeting with you and working with you in the near future. Ricco”
“Dear Abiiba, Thank you again for your help on the PAQ video shoot. I appreciate your professionalism in dealing with the quick re-sets. I look forward to working with you again. Sincerely, Greg”
“Dear Abiiba, We just wanted to drop a line to say thanks for all of your help during our recent Houston music video production. The video was an overall success and the record label was very pleased with the finished product…. Once again, thank you for your professionalism and cooperation. We look forward to shooting in Houston and working with you again in the future. Sincerely, Eric and Ruben”
“It is my personal experience having worked with Abiiba Howell on three music videos, that Abiiba is a courteous, experienced and hardworking professional. She has worked with me in the capacity of Second Assistant Director on two of those projects and I find her capable of handling any assignment given to her as well as being an able problem solver. All three projects involved large groups of non-talent cast and extras where Abiiba was able to facilitate their paperwork, selection and movement on and off the set. In addition, her substantial knowledge and experience in the filmmaking process improved the efficiency and communication on both of those sets. It’s certainly a luxury to have a Second A.D. with production management experience… I highly recommend her…… F.W.”
“Abiiba, It has truly been a joy working with you! You are a wonderful person (and you have great taste in music!). I wish you all the best in all things you do! Lee”
Dear Abiiba, Wishing you the best of success!
Dear Abiiba, I can’t say enough to tell you what an impact you have had on me within such a short period of time. I hope you had a great Christmas and best wishes for a New Year! I really would like to stay in touch, you are a very unique person.
Sincerely,
Dear Abiiba, Just wanted to thank you for your support and getting my foot in the door here in Houston…. Thanks again,
Abiiba, Thank you for all your help and support. It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope we will be working together soon. Regards,
Abiiba, Whatsup Lady! Thanks for the wonderful job with the video!

Hello Abiiba!! Abiiba, Thank you for your thoughtfulness and for always showing how much you care. We just wanted to thank you for inviting us to appear in the short film “Total Control.” We’ve been so busy lately that we didn’t get a chance to audition, so it really means a lot to us that you and Maryum called us to be a part of this project. Can’t wait to see the roach flick! We’ll make sure to bring our (bug) spray, fly swatters and Dad’s shoes; just in case those creatures do intend to pop out of the screen! haahaa!

I attended Abiiba Howell’s Getting Into the Movies seminar for movie extras several years ago. This is one of the most informative workshops for anyone interested in starting their career in the film industry. Abiiba thoroughly covered many topics. She was very helpful and friendly and even cast me in her next project. I highly recommend this workshop to everyone interested in “Getting Into the Movies
