New Sticky Fingaz movie w/ Mekhi Phifer & Omar Epps the whole thing is done in rhymes
Sticky Fingaz has a new movie out where the entire thing is one giant rhyme. Looks interesting since it also stars Mekhi Phifer, Michael Rapaport, and Omar Epps.
Has anyone seen this or heard anything about it? I got a link to the trailer below and an interview he just did.

Interview:
Jason: You’ve recently made your directorial debut with the film ‘A Day in the Life’, which you also wrote and stared in. Was taking on three distinct jobs a difficult experience?
Sticky Fingaz:null No it wasn’t difficult at all. It was fun, actually. All the actors were fantastic. I had a great team working with me. They pulled everything together. That was probably the most challenging part; trying to pool all that talent, organizing everyone’s schedules.
J: The film has a very high profile cast of actors Mekhi Phifer, Omar Epps, Michael Rappaport, Bokeem Woodbine and many others. How were you able to assemble such a talented cast?
Sticky Fingaz: I’d say 85% was through personal relationships, I’ve know a lot of these guys for many years. Which meant I didn’t have to deal with agents or managers, I reached out to each actor directly. Some of the cast I didn’t know, like Clarence Williams III. So, I contacted him, showed him some footage; he thought it was great and jumped on board.
J: You wrote the entire script in rhyming dialogue. Is it easier to tell a story through rhymes than writing a traditional narrative screenplay?
Sticky Fingaz: I wouldn’t say it’s easier than writing a normal script. But it’s easier than writing a normal rhyme, it’s more fluent. For the film I’ll write from the top of the page to the bottom. Whereas a song is like putting together a puzzle. I may have a line from a year ago that gets inserted into a song because it works. I’ve completed production on my second film ‘Caught on Tape‘, again it’s told entirely through rhymes. It’s not a sequel to ‘Life’ though. It’s a different story with an entirely new cast.
