Thursday, July 25 at 7pm REELBLACK PRESENTS Big Words dir. Neil Drumming, US, 2013, digital, 93 min.
An Official Selection of the 2013 Slamdance Film Festival, Big Words, set in Brooklyn on the eve of Obama’ s history-making election, tells the story of three former members of a promising hip-hop crew who cross paths again and discover that some things never change. Former frontman John, once known as Big Words, is now a working class guy who raps only to himself. James is a publicist living with his boyfriend, far removed from the days when he rhymed about getting girls. While DJ Malik still spins records with a longing for the glory days. Together again on the day of a landmark election, the friends reckon with dreams deferred and new hopes.
