actually there is a brief cameo from short and fab also. and if you don't blink you can catch me as well. name of the movie is townbiz and this s the first motion picture in a minute to really be about just oakland. this is going to be our menace to society. please check out the trailer and give us some feedback. just submitted it to sundance and trying to work the film festival. if you want to get on the soundtrack holla at cream factory records. we tried to do the town justice check it out and holla back.

I'm at work but can you tell us honestly if its "Menace 2 Society" film quality or just another low budget bay movie.

of course it can't match what hollywood is doing with million dollar budgets, but this ain't no 'me and my potna's with a camcorder' we shooting for a theatrical release. check out the quality and let me know what you think, all feedback is appreciated. good (which we like) and bad (let us know what to tighten up on)

pharoah -

Thanks for sharing the video. Checked out the website - the video quality looks nice. Did they use a Canon GL2 to film?

Nice lighting in some of the scenes and they picked good actors.

Keep me posted if it hits DVD or there is a screening.

Peace & Bay Luv.

It looks really good.Im glad somebody is pulling together a lot of local talent. There are those who get outsiders to express our vision and shoot our videos and movies,but I've heard of Mario Bobino and Debonair productions, he was a pioneer filmamker in Oakland in the 80's and I think That Ram guy produced the Highsiden/Go Dumb U.S.A dvd's. I had to watch it twice because I saw some rappers and model chicks I know like Sierra Mora and Karen Cox. Around here when you say your doing a Video or a movie cats look down on you if its not up to MTV or Dreamworks quality,but these are the same crabs that can't get that kind of budget they damn selves.You can't go from nothin to Diddy and I respect all artists that do it from scratch and keep creative control as well as the backend profits yadig!!

not to hate on them, but with the budget they had and the budget we had we actually stomping down on that. they had bigger names and all that, 'professional' actors. but i will still put our town movie up against it. alot of people put they all in this and it shows. I don't think the town is going to be dissapointed at all
