We are talking to the uber talented writer and filmmaker Stacey Muhammad and the dynamic and powerful star of her upcoming 7 Part Web Series Robbie Morgan about REDEMPTION, For Colored Boys Season 1, Episode 1 Starring Julito McCullum and Rob Morgan. Written and Directed by Stacey Muhammad. Cinematography by J. Anders Urmacher. Edited by: Kathryn Hood Moore Original Music by Chris Rob About the Series: Benjamin Boyd, Sr. returns home after years of incarceration, determined to reunite his family by rekindling the love between he and his wife and re-assuming his role as father to his teenage daughter and 20-year-old son, E. SUBSCRIBE to the Youtube Page>>> http://www.youtube.com/staceymfilms Review: "Redemption, For Colored Boys" mines drama out of the absent-father-returns scenario but gives the characters a genuine life and personality (the son records music passionately, his father has a warm encounter with a bodega clerk) before the histrionics start, so when they do, it feels realistic. Furthermore, the movie uses the short form to its advantage: the director cuts immediately after the altercation between father and son, suggesting that things can't actually be repaired. It's a much more honest, powerful statement than any gift-wrapped reconciliation you'd find elsewhere. - Christopher Bell (Indiewire)
