Editorial: Damon Dash Becomes Full-Time Filmmaker + He Claims To Be 'The Next Woody Allen'

Damon Dash, who filed a $25 million lawsuit against director Lee Daniels in August, claiming he owes him money from his investment in “The Butler” and other movies, is about to become a filmmaker himself.

We’re told Dash will be producing, directing and financing three movies. The music mogul was spotted filming “Mixed Nuts” at Chelsea nightclub The Lenora last week, where he was heard immodestly calling himself the “next Woody Allen” (we assume he just means in the filmmaking sense).

We’re told the project spotlights comedian Smokey Suarez, whom Dash calls “the new Richard Pryor.” Dash, when he isn’t busy being the “new Woody Allen,” will also ­appear in the film.
