Blog Alert: New Caribbean Cinema

Words by Eddie STATS Houghton, Images courtesy of Storm Saulter

Our dog Storm Saulter–he’s the director of Better Must Come, but dancehall fans may also recognize him as the guy who shot Vybz Kartel against a wall of clocks–just put us up on this new blog. Basically it’s where he and a network of collaborators are documenting their in progress film work under the banner: New Caribbean Cinema (New Wave. New Styles. New Directors!) Aspiring Perry Henzells can check it to find out about screenings, resources and kindred spirits doing the damn thing. If you’re mere mortals like we-folks, just check out exclusives like the opening sequence of Missed–Storm’s new collaboration with Michelle Serieux, featuring Spike-affiliated leading man Roger Guenveur Smith.
