Before The Day Starts

Posted by Rashaun Williams in Western European Film - Latimer on Monday, June 13, 2011 at 8:51 am

A look inside the mind of a young black male growing up in Philadelphia where statistically he is supposed to fail. Everything around him tells him to do that of that isn't healthy or progressive to his lifestyle but unlike people's image of what he should be, he is different. These are his thoughts and experiences as he travels to school. This is "Before The Day Starts"

A Watered Down Tomorrow

Posted by Anonymous in Western European Film - Latimer on Friday, June 10, 2011 at 2:21 pm

Link to the movie in FLV format.  There is no other way for us to upload at this time.

This is the story of a boy who desires to be a fancy dancer.  His father, a righteous protector of the law, wants the child to grow up the same way.  The boy runs away and involves himself with a very charismatic drug lord with the power of hypnotism, who promises to let him be a fancy dancer.  Along the way, he develops a relationship with a box of drugs.

A Watered Down Tomorrow was originally meant to be a parody of film noir.  This, along the way, was discarded in favor of still making the movie look like an old film, but it stopped trying to have any sort of roots in film noir or any other sort of cinematic style.  The film does not utilize the camera angles, lighting, and many of the themes that made film noir what it was, but it is still a story of crime, drugs, a hard-boiled detective, and fancy dancing.
