DREAMBUILDER
FILM, "SKIN COMPLEX", TO BE SCREENED
AT
SAN FRANCISCO FESTIVAL
May
6, 2003; Cincinnati, OH: "Skin Complex",
the 2003 Procter & Gamble Dreambuilder
Celebration award-winning movie, has been
selected from more than 100 submitted films
from across the nation to be screened at
the prestigious San Francisco Black Film
Festival, June 11 - 15.
"Skin
Complex", written by Craig J. Harris
and starring Wolfgang Bodison and Tai Bennett,
explores one man's pursuit of success.
Dr. Christopher Harrison is a strong, ambitious,
intelligent man who believes success should
be based on hard work, without regard to
skin color. He is proud that he has achieved
success on his own - Ivy League Ph.D., distinguished
educator, active in the community. He is
ashamed of those who use their skin color
as an excuse or seek to gain unfair advantage
based on their race. But Dr. Harrison, a
black man, has always wondered what it would
be like to live as a white man. He believes
his potential would be unlimited.
Then
he meets Maurice - a white man who had always
wanted to live as a black man. Chris, born
black, works to convince Maurice of the
benefits of being white - while Maurice,
born white, tries to convince Chris of the
benefits of being black.
The
movie's theme is ideally suited to the goals
of the San Francisco Black Film Festival:
the Festival's stated mission is to "promote
Black culture through film to broad audiences.
The SFBFF helps foster the collective goal
of reaching out to the entire community
to educate and enrich all involved about
African American life, history and culture
as viewed through various perspectives."
The
Dreambuilder Celebration was created in
1997 to encourage inclusion and understanding
of cultural diversity by sharing history,
ideas and entertainment. By providing opportunities
in the fields of broadcasting, journalism
and the arts, the Dreambuilder Celebration
honors the community and supports broadcast
hopefuls from all ethnic backgrounds in
pursuing their dreams.
