I was doing some research on the city Oakland, CA and somehow found out about this movie. The movie is called Licks and it is a SXSW accepted film. The movie is directed by Jonathan Singer-Vine and stars Stanley “Doe” Hunt, Koran Streets, John Stallings, and more. Here is what the film is about…..Check out the trailer below, stay safe and positive Oakland!
LICKS follows the story of a young man, D, as he returns to his Oakland neighborhood after serving two years in prison for a robbery gone wrong. In the days after his release, we are taken into D’s world while he navigates the harsh realities that plague his inner city community. His judgment is tested by the insidious influences around him, forcing D to decide what direction to take his life.
