Fortunate to have seen "Something is Killing Tate" today, screened as part of the 10th annual San Francisco Black Film Festival. An amazingly complex and heart rending story that manages to have a happy ending where one would normally never be imagined. Director/writer/exec producer Leon Lozano has produced a dynamic story filled with characters we wish we could say aren't real...but life tells us differently. This film merits every award it has won and damn well better win some more! Today it won two major awards, the best feature film award and the overall grand prize, the Melvin Van Peebles Award. Knowing Melvin, he would and should be proud.
See this film. Support this film. Make sure this film is seen by audiences the world over. It may have been made by a black filmmaker but it is a story that rings sadly true no matter what your color or culture. Shine the light, tell the tale, and make sure this is not the last we hear/see of M. Lozano.
Brilliant!
