SHORT FILM REVIEW: Jamarcus and Da 5 Bullet Holes

As a short-form storyteller, Marcellus Cox nails this thematical platform with his dialogue, and Cofield gives those lines the proper meaningful heft. All in all, the previous foreboding question remains for where Jamarcus’s life can go after this new partnership. The low angles and those aforementioned shadows which frame his home life are juxtaposed with the symbolic blue sky of potential above that ballfield.

SHORT FILM REVIEW: Liquor Bank

Liquor Bank knows that audiences don’t often see the stories that continue after the big commitment to change. They don’t see the temptations, choices, relapses, and secondary victories. In showing Eddie broken in losing a benchmark achievement, Marcellus Cox is unshy to shed light on a time of defeat instead of victory with Liquor Bank.
