Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival Closing Night
United States | 2016 | Seckeita Lewis
How does one make a comedy about the Jim Crow South? The husband and wife indie filmmaking team of Brandon (screenwriter/lead actor) and Seckeita Lewis (director) have pulled it off. Set in a rural Mississippi town on the morning of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Jerico follows two African American best friends who apply for a promotion at the printing company where they work. But their gesture is rebuffed by those who don’t do change well, and pretty soon they’re running for their lives from a lynch mob and more. With Irma P. Hall. Cleveland premiere. DCP. 98 min.
