Just got a link for an indie film produced in Detroit. It’s in the vein of Barbershop, about a guy who doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps. The lead character wants to be a famous chef instead of taking over his father’s liquor store. The story takes place on 6 Mile (think two miles south of Eminem’s 8 Mile) so you expect a certain amount of ghetto characters. It stars Roger Guenveur Smith (American Gangster) and Lawrence Lamont Jenkins, who’s short film Patzer I featured a while back.
I know some of the people who worked on this film and while I’m not a big fan of movies set in the “inner city” because that’s usually where black stories are relegated, it’s good to know that filmmakers outside of Los Angeles are making stuff happen.
