THE BLACK SEA - from Bay Area native Crystal Moselle
About
Co-Directors Crystal Moselle & Derrick Harden (also cast lead) IN PERSON Saturday December 14!
Crystal Moselle (The Wolfpack, Skate Kitchen) returns with another blast of charismatic energy, as Khalid (co-director Derrick B. Harden) a charismatic big dreamer from Brooklyn with no follow-thru gets stuck in a small Bulgarian resort town on the Black Sea after chasing a fast cash opportunity that goes awry. As the only black guy around, he becomes the center of the town’s curiosity. His New York City street bop is all he has to survive and figure out how to get home. But in his pursuit he finds connection in a way he never expected. Based on a true story.
“[A] cinematic slam poem about how shattered dreams lead people to become castaways, or refugees, or immigrants, far from their place of origin. […] Everyone here, from in front of and behind the camera, is discovering life in real time.”—Ryan Lattanzio, indieWire
