We watched an interstitial on a short film series DVD about what is a black film. They said a black film is a film that is created financed and distributed by a black person or people. We found out that most of the movie that we see with black people in it is not a black film by this definition. We watched the movie The Only Way Out by Philadelphia writer and director Grady Jones. We liked the movie because it was in West Philly which is our neighborhood and we related to the story. We found out that most black films by the earlier definition are usually low budget and don’t have star’s in it.
