RITCH
run time: 5 minutes
RITCH is the moody tale of a hip-hop sensation and his return home. Ritch's intimate concert for his hometown entourage offers the photo opportunity of a lifetime for his number one fans Kinzo and Mozie.
Ritch however has different plans. The film explodes open in a musicvideo style with an urban score, a shiny hip-hop star, the bling, the girls and the fans, but then quickly settles into four minutes of beautifully crafted storytelling. Complimented by an evocative neo-noir look, RITCH suggests that within the shadows lies a different truth, as Kinzo and Mozie are about to find out. RITCH is a modern adaptation of Richard Cory, Pulitzer Prize winning poet Edwin Arlington Robinson's shockingly ironic poem about loneliness.
