Hollywood Divorce - Notorious Trailer

Hmmm... looks worthy of another look. Not sure they should have made this shit still but still to be determined whether it will get my money. Either way I'll see it though. They're being hella sly about not showing any of the real acting or the main character. Very creative and well done trailer for that purpose. Assholes. I'm onto your shit.

Seattle Weekly Reviews Emerald City

At times during the making of this film. I felt like we were the only ones who understood the movie and movement we (mostly Henry) wanted to create, but at other times I felt like the story was too good to be ignored. A review from an unbiased third party is very exciting. Especially a positive one.

Emerald City revolves around the recurring vision of main character Elijah, also known as MC Ellipsis. The vision visits Elijah’s childhood in Louisiana, the death of his brother and the mic that he can’t imagine losing. I had a chance to see the film, and the excitement and plot that McComas comfortably fits into the span of 13 minutes is stunning.

It may be short, but the attention to detail is immaculate. The film’s visuals are subtly but purposely altered to fit the mood and the action; some scenes are smooth and flowing, others a little fuzzy around the edges and others gritty and choppy. And, of course, music fits mood immaculately. Featuring local hip-hop scene leaders such as Kublakai, D. Black and Logics, Emerald City is something that represents and speaks for the city. With parts of the film’s creation taking place in nearly every neighborhood in Seattle, the message of the city is embedded deep within.

Don't forget, if you like Beer and want to see the film, the local bar is hosting a special screening. Guaranteed standing room only, so wear some comfy sneaks. August 22, 8 p.m., Box Car Ale House, 3401 Gilman Avenue West
