Synopsis

Given 3 plot points and a 9.5 hr. deadline, SidFilmz decided to create a self-promotion piece in a docu-drama style. As the video begins with a detective on the street, who loses his sweater, we begin to see the elements of melodrama working against him already. Then, upon revealing what he and his partner are up to, the socio-political question is posed: is hip-hop illegal? In a day when the cops are watching if you burn CDs or not, where's a true musician going to distribute his music?

The production team wanted to really capture the raw feel of the city, hence the live sounds of the city, the drag-on conversation of a lost love, and of course the denouement that shows that the battle over who controls the right to distribute music is a never-ending chase by the powers that be in attempt to capture the value of the artist. All written, shot, and edited in 9.5 hrs., and presented in under 6 minutes.

Stay tuned, stay independent.
