OPENING NIGHT GALA

FOR REAL
Dir: Tim Reid, with Tamara Curry & Tim Reid.
90 mins, USA, 2002.

Think My Fair Lady from the hood, and you have For Real, a romantic comedy set in the vibrant world of urban music. Mac Sinclair is a music mogul and classy lawyer who’s got it all. 
Cece is a sexy ëround the way girl, and the headstrong niece of Mac’s trusted housekeeper.  Cece and Mac under one roof becomes a clash between Old School style and New School flava! Sparks fly and walls tumble in a surprising mixture of urban romance and comedy.

FILMMAKERS MASTERCLASS with Tim Reid & Leon Herbert

In the past, festival-goers have been treated to Actors’ bootcamps with Eamonn Walker (ITV’s Othello) & Will Johnson (BBC’s Babyfather). This year, bfm in association with the EPN is proud to announce that two personalities will feature in a transatlantic version of the Actors bootcamp. Suitably renamed, The Filmmakers Masterclass will screen Movie Virgins, the Channel 4 documentary which chronicles the making of Emotional Backgammon. Leon will be on hand to discuss the documentary as well as the film (See ICA programme). Next up, the actor/director/film producer Tim Reid will be in attendance to discuss in-depth the making of his film For Real (See ICA programme). For Real was the product of New Millenium Studios, the only black-owned film studio in America.
