Pick of the Week: October 21-28
I love Wednesdays. It isn’t just Hump Day, it’s time for my Pick of the Week! In order to make this your best weekend ever (or at least try to,) I’ve done the hard work for you and found the best event you’ve never (or maybe) heard of.
On Sunday, October 25, check out local legend, rapper Schoolly D at the next Filmmaker’s Salon. Here’s my preview of the event, as published in this week’s edition of Philadelphia Weekly:
Old-school rappers who end up in the movie business are common these days. But local legend Schoolly D is not just another washed-up O.G. who turned to the film business once his album sales declined. The rapper-turned-other-industry star broke into the film scene using nothing but his musical skills. Working with director Abel Ferrara, he has penned soundtracks and composed the scores for movies such as The Addiction and King of New York. With decades’ worth of experience in both businesses under his belt, Schoolly D returns to his hometown to relay the tricks of the trade to industry hopefuls at Filmtech. The school for independent film and video production hosts him at the next Filmmakers Salon, a monthly networking event for filmmakers, screenwriters, actors and members of the local film community . But fear not, non-filmmakers—all are invited and encouraged to attend.
