SBIFF 26: Festival Filmmakers - BRITTANY BALLARD & JAMIL WALKER-SMITH of "Make A Movie Like Spike"
From the Santa Barbara International Film Festival 25, an interview with Jamil Walker Smith and Brittany Ballard, discussing their independent movie "Make a Movie Like Spike"
Make a Movie Like Spike
Armed with dreams that extend beyond their block, Luis and Ronald, two best friends from Los Angeles, videotape their last 36 hours before shipping off to Afghanistan. One hundred days before Obama's inauguration, these young men have joined the Marines together to face the obstacles and circumstances that seem to overwhelm their passage into manhood. Luis wants to be a filmmaker and Ronald wants to travel the world and raise a family. Through the lens of Luis's video camera, they capture their friends, family members and places they call home - to remember who they are and where they come from. In their darkest hour, they turn on the video camera for the last time and document the final moments of their journey home. They soon realize that their dreams and promises of a new life mean nothing in a place called War.
Directed and written by Stargate Universe's Jamil Walker Smith [who also co-stars]. Cast includes Malcolm Goodwin, Michael Trotter, Bradley Stryker, Eddie Ruiz, Justin Shenkarow, Christine Dunford, Aisha Alese, Diana Toshiko and Mike Polli.
