‘Surviving in da Hood’ 

A break through within the UK Black film industry

 
 Mr Midas from the movie ‘Surviving in da Hood’


I happen to attend a free film screening to watch ‘Surviving in da Hood’ at Goldsmith University on Thursday 10th October 2013. I found this movie to be inspiring, funny entertaining and along with the music and sound tracks it made it a great movie to see.

This production brings an insight into the talent, struggle and success of young    
people from urban communities living in the UK.  

After the movie I had the opportunity to meet and speak with the Directors, Shanice Lindsay and Errol Tucker from Platinum CAT Productions. I found them to be inspiring and ambitious to have risen to the challenge of making such a big production.

I feel there is a huge market for black urban talent in the UK and on the big screen. What Platinum Cat Productions are doing is just excellent work.  I also congratulate Starlight Music Academy on the excellent musical sound track throughout the movie. I’m looking forward to getting a copy of the sound track CD.

I also found out that the ‘Surviving in da Hood’ DVDs will be out by Christmas so I hope to get my hands on a few copies of these too, for Christmas prezies.
