Flint Star: The Motion Picture

|
Kudos to independent, self-financed filmmaker Marcus G. Davenport who has, with the release of his gritty documentary, Flint Star: The Motion Picture, taken the first big step towards reaching his dream of becoming a successful film director. His passionate examination of Flint, Michigans storied hoops history and the sheer rawness and candid nature of the footage combine to create a truly unique viewing experience from the opening tip-off to the final buzzer. As he journeys from concrete playgrounds to gymnasiums and ultimately the hardwood, Davenport tells his story through the perspectives of unnamed street ballers, local experts and fans, high school coaches, and the players themselves (including ex-NBA/current D-Leaguers Mateen Cleaves and Eddie Robinson). But theres more to Flint Star than highlight reel dunks and uncut dialoguetheres the realization that poverty and poor living conditions have provided the Flint youth with aspirations of a better life, and its this dream that lures them towards basketball and keeps the industry thriving.
