Five by Five: A Movie Podcast Subrina Wood

Today, the Cinnamon Cinephile talks to author Denise Crittendon, whose novel Where It Rains in Color was so breathtaking believes it is a film begging for a screenwriter.

Ms. Crittenden's book has been described as "a technicolor Afrofuturist fever dream of a book. Set on the planet of Swazembi, a color-rich utopia and famous vacation center of the galaxy, it is also the home of the Rare Indigo - a beauty among beauties - treasured for the perfection of her glorious midnight skin. When the Rare Indigo becomes infected with a debilitating skin disease, a new power awakens in her as they search for a cure. You had the Cinnamon Cinephile at midnight skin!

The Cinnamon Cinephile sat down with producer, director, screenwriter and editor, Tia Cherie Polite-Jones, owner of Black Rose Dagger Films as she and her cast and crew prepare for the 48 Hour Film Project - the Baltimore version. Tia and her team have just 48 hours to write, shoot, edit and submit their four to seven minute short film. But here's the kicker...they won't know anything and they can't start writing until everyone gets their prompt, genre, and a single line of dialogue. Then they have 48 hours to make the film.

The 48 Hour Film Project started in 2001 and has turned into a global phenomenon. Selected final films will be screened August 9th at 7:00 pm at the Charles Theater in Baltimore. Come on and cheer on Team Black Rose Dagger Films
