“We Are One: Street Music of New Orleans”

    “We Are One: Street Music of New Orleans,” is a spectacle of harmonious images and rhythm that encompasses the most unique city in America, New Orleans, Louisiana. In this city there is a pulse that beats with the bottom of a bass drum. The people of New Orleans walk, talk, breathe, and live by a rhythm unmatched and it doesn’t have to be justified. It just is. Social conditions become submissive to the quality of life in this city. Out of despair, poverty, corruption, etc. the emergence of the holy trinity of street music makes its mark.

     Take a 90 minute journey through the streets of New Orleans as the soundtrack is set by native Brass, Rap, and Bounce in a way that only “The Big Easy” can do it. The accents speak the language, the food satisfies the palette, but the music fills in whatever else is lacking. You will never find a more culturally diverse city as New Orleans. The purpose of this film highlights that diversity and aims to lift the consciousness of the unaware. The rich spiritual history of the music comes through in many ways and the spotlight shines brightly on New Orleans. Starring in this film are legendary names such as: Partners n Crime, Cheeky Blakk, Ice Mike, Black Menace, Bust Down, Mr. Serv On, with special appearances by Youngfellaz Brass Band and The Original Pinettes Brass Band.

      This project is completed through the principal photography phase and is currently in post-production. What I am seeking funding for is to assist in the costs of post-production and marketing and promotions.
