Jeffrey Brown:
Working with co-writer Joslyn Barnes and cinematographer Jomo Fray, Ross gives cinematic life to two young men in 1960s Florida, with the civil rights movement in the background, rampant racism in their faces.
The unusual point-of-view perspective required creating special camera rigs placed on or around actors Brandon Wilson and Ethan Herisse to capture their lines of sight and movements, including the small, but important moments, what Ross calls the epic banal, that their eyes catch as they look around the room, a balloon hitting a ceiling fan, a TV report on space exploration.
