What I'm Watching #272

This is the first full length feature by the Bahamian writer/director/producer Kareem Mortimer. It's actually an expansion on his previously acclaimed short "Float" that is included in the compilation DVD "Not|Gay".

I'd seen the short film a couple of years ago, and immediately realized that this was the same story. However, rather than disappointed, the additions and changes in casting took a nice short film to the status of a very moving feature. I would think that the pair would be a great lesson for any filmmaking class.

The nuances and messages in the this film are for more powerful. I really recommend it.
