"Camouflage" Screening TOMORROW NIGHT

“CAMOUFLAGE”
OBC DreamTheatre Presents An Advance Premiere Screening April 30, 2009 7:00pm
NYU Alum Rod Gailes OBC screens his first feature film at The Cantor Film Center NYC


Years in the making, Rod Gailes OBC unveils his feature film Thursday, April 30th 7:00pm at The Cantor Film Center (36 East 8th Street near University Place) followed by a post screening discussion with the writer/director.

“Camouflage”* is a cinematic time capsule of “pre-gentrified” Harlem: before Bill Clinton, Starbucks, M.A.C. Cosmetics stores and multi-million dollar condos. This documentary-style narrative offers the audiences a ‘Rashomon’-like view of Jason Robbie’s life. A young man coming to grips with his power to choose a path beyond his current circumstances: promiscuity, drug culture and violence. Inspiring in its realism, “Camouflage” offers a window into the otherwise private subculture of urban youth.

An emerging force on the NY film scene, Rod Gailes OBC is a University of Michigan graduate and alumnus of the prestigious NYU graduate film program. There he studied under noted filmmakers, Raoul Peck and Nancy Savoca before directing the award winning classic, “Twin Cousins.” A Regional Student Academy Award Finalist, winner of the HBO Short Film Competition, and best short film in New York’s Urbanworld Film Festival, the film went on to further acclaim, winning the Ft. Lauderdale Film Festival and being featured at the Kodak Emerging Filmmaker Showcase in Cannes. Recently featured on "BET J's the Best Shorts". "A beautifully photographed, masterfully directed portrait of childhood." –Spike Lee
