ZedCrew to screen

Halifax director Noah Pink will introduce and answer questions about his short ZedCrew on Sunday, May 15, 7pm at Park Lane. Pink has directed videos, shorts and documentaries. This dramatic short, shot in Zambia with a skeleton crew, is about three rappers who want to make it big and are prepared to go the United States to do it. Getting there is the problem. ZedCrew showed at the Atlantic Film Festival in an early version and also screened at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. The screening on Sunday is $9, in support of the Shaar Shalom Synagogue.
