latest film from producer Quincy Jones III (QD 3) and director Peter Spirer.

The Art of 16 Bars: It is raw, blistering talent that defines the legendary
MCs. But going from hungry amateur to rich professional takes more... much more!
From the filmmakers who brought you The MC: Why We Do It, Beef, Beef II, The
Freshest Kids and Rhyme and Reason, learn from the biggest MCs of our time exactly

how they put together a demo tape, got signed and dealt with labels as well

Runt is a strikingly passionate story of a Jamaican-American man who is forced
to confront the ancestral demons of his past in order to be the man he wants
to be for his son. Christopher Davis, a writer, returns home to Jamaica when
he feels his snap coming on. A snap is what his family describes as the moment
the nice gentle Jamaican man everyone knew, all but disappears to reveal the
headstrong, sexually deviant, macho prideful male that lives within. Through
flashbacks, we study a character that is complex and passionately layered. PHILADELPHIA
PREMIERE. Preceded by Benjamin Barnett's short documentary, THE SEARCH FOR SISTER
GERTUDE MORGAN. Hosted by WKDU-FM's Monica Peters. Wisit www.reelblack.com for
