Parallel Film Collective and African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement (AFFRM) presents Big Words followed by Mixer!



Set in Brooklyn on the eve of President Obama's history-making election, three former members of a once promising hip-hop crew cross paths again to discover that some things never change. Former frontman John, once known as Big Words, is now a working class guy who raps only to himself. James is a publicist living with his boyfriend, far removed from the days when he rhymed about getting girls. While DJ Malik still spins records with a longing for the glory days. Together again, the friends reckon with dreams deferred and dreams yet to come.

Opening from @AFFRM on July 19.
BIG WORDS is a 2013 Official Selection of Slamdance, New Voices and Frameline37.
