The audience award-winning “Midnight Madness” film that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival stars Calum Worthy as a wannabe Oakland battle rapper. The hip-hop satire will have a sneak preview at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, Jan. 21.
BODIED
Bodied is the rare satire that works, and in today’s hyper-sensitive, overly-PC culture, it may be exactly what we need right now, especially given the conversation it has inspired about free speech and the consequences of language.
Bodied follows a graduate student who is writing his thesis on battle-rap culture and gradually becomes embroiled in that world. The script explores race relations, as evidenced by this potentially NSFW trailer.
Music video director extraordinaire John Kahn is set to tackle the hot-button topic of race relations with his next film Bodied. Specifics about the story details are being kept under wraps, but the movie will take place in the world of rap battles.
