What a wonderful short film. The director and cinematography executed the storyline to perfection! Great cast! Great film! Would watch again & again!
From the beginning to the end of this film, I was fully engaged! I laughed, I cried, I was in it!! The storyline and message behind the movie was so captivating. From the daytime social to late night club scenes, it was beautifully captured. I would love to see the continuation of this film!
Energy pulses through the screen. Letia Solomon's directorial vision comes alive from the very first moment of this film. A must watch!
Beautifully shot and directed. Very emotionally drawing. Low budget, shotty, and lazy production design but the director and cinematographer preserver to tell an engaging story.
The feeling about a monifesto. Not against homophobia but for family and freedom. Not last, for courage to be yourself , accepting what defines you.
A young rapper has the privilege to win in contest. The second level represents the confrontation with tough guy of genre . The basic supporters of young artist - his sister and his boyfriend. But when the relation between the two men is revealed by consacrated rapper , part for mistake of sister of rival, part as the result of enthusiasm of young man, all seems at end for young competitor. Or, not exactly.
Sure, his speech seems naif, childish and far to impress. But it has one virtue - it is honest and reminds the need to escape by shame to be yourself.
So, nice film.
