Plot:
When local thug Drake (Jason Wimberly ) and Terri (Sharmaine Nicholson) a street numbers runner have a random encounter and eventually begin to date, everything seems to be going good for the two until one of Drake’s longtime friends Lovell (Iken B. Jackson)who is on the run from the police for a murder charge, makes matters worse by allowing his shallow mind to put his focus on robbing Terri, compromising the friendship between the two pals. With everything on the line they all must make hard decisions that will change their lives forever as two hard nose homicide detectives played by LaDonna Graham and Sherman Eaton close in to catch the fugitive murderer.
Reel Talk:
This suspense drama is the reel deal that was filmed and used all cast members entirely from Detroit. This is the second film made by local filmmaker Steve Horn who brought us the 2006 street drama The Route. With a plot that is so different than most surrounding movies made in Detroit, Behind The Shallow Mind shows what happens when one’s mind is shallow and the consequences that will continue to compile as a result. Horn , already at work putting together his next project is a very talented filmmaker who doesn’t know the meaning of rest hence the name of his company Stevenotsleep Films LLC, shows that hard work does pay off as he was the recipient of the 2010 Trinity Film Coalition Emerging Filmmaker Award. We look forward to future films from this gifted movie maker as he stated he has more to come, with a few spin offs from this film.
