One of my favorite parts of working with New Filmmakers LA is getting a chance to see all of the shorts, documentaries, and features that they show in their programs. After viewing all of the films for December, I’m going to start recommending a couple that need to be checked out and requested in your area as soon as possible.
BROTHERLY LOVE was the stand out of the short film program. Directed by Choice Skinner, the film is about three brothers (Skinner, Farley Jackson, and Sheldon Smith) who “are confronted with a horrible act committed by the youngest due to the pressure of bullying from a local gang”. Selling people out here: but I heard sniffling from the sold-out crowd. More than my own, for the record.
I also had the chance to talk with Choice before and after his screening, and that man has so many projects in various stages of production, along with teaching acting classes, I don’t know how he was even able to step away to attend the screening. If Brotherly Love is an example of what he can do though, then I can’t wait to see what he has coming next.
