Just in case anyone is interested 8pm film is Idlewild.
Some details of the film and director:
Barber has gained stature within the music video industry for his ability to break out of the cliches that have dogged the music video business. Barber's videos convey a classic mood often taken from previous era hits. Barber's ability to be heard as a clear and distinct authorial voice lay in his gift for defining a unique visual style, a postmodern style that relied heavily on the use of classic film and TV clips [1]. For example, Barber referenced Grease in the OutKast music video Roses and the Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance in the band's video for Hey Ya!. In the process, Barber emerged as a highly unique talent and imparted a wholly original image to the hip-hop movement [2].
Barber made his feature film debut with Idlewild, a 1930s musical set in the fictional Georgia town of Idlewild (inspired by the Michigan resort town that served as a safe vacation haven for middle-class blacks in the pre-Civil Rights era ). The filmed starred Outkast, who produced Idlewild (album) an accompanying album.
:cool:
