'David Is Dying' moves from festivals to DVD

London (PRWEB) December 08, 2012
‘David Is Dying’ was first screened in Kingston Jamaica, in the Studio 38 Theatre, very late at night. The organisers of the 2011 Jamaica Reggae Film Festival found the film very pleasing. In fact, they stated that although not strictly a ‘reggae film’, the film’s entry was accepted by the Jamaica Film Academy because of its excellent production values, unusual script, good direction and also a stunning performance by the lead actor that won him a ‘Honourable Mention’ on Awards night.

Since then, ‘David Is Dying’ went on to be screened at over 20 international film festivals, scooping over seven film festival awards, including ‘Focus On Filmmakers Honoree’ at the 6th Cleveland International Film Festival, for the director, Stephen Lloyd Jackson.

‘David Is Dying’ is a character driven, psychological drama. The lead character, ‘David’, played by Lonyo Engele, takes us on a dark journey that reveals the depths couples go to in their relationships. The film is a human-interest story with characters that are full of personality, guilt and secrets that develop and unravel as the story unfolds.

‘David Is Dying’ is largely improvised and driven by the character David, whose turmoil creates the narrative arch. It is original and distinctive and also has a contemporary resonance to it. The plot is multi-layered and the way the scenes liaise with each other is testament to strong story telling. As the narrative plays out, you continue to learn about the characters, their relationships, their complexities and their motivations. The film is driven by a lead character whose life is a mess and this is further confounded by the discovery of an unwanted disease; HIV.

The story has an exciting, rhythmic pace and evokes a variety of emotions from the audience; it is sexy and dark, it is witty and it has gritty realism. It goes beyond just being a fiction; it puts you in among the issue, albeit with a subtlety that stops it feeling contrived. In sum the story is a personalised and honest account of how the character David deals with the loss of his mother (Isaura Barbe-Brown) from an early age to a drug overdose, which ultimately affects the man he becomes. This isn’t romanticized fiction, rather it is raw, it is real and it is full of true emotions.

Attorney Adam Loewy Breaks the Mold During “NSIDE” Interview

 In a recent interview with NSIDE Austin Magazine, Attorney Adam Loewy and his close friend, politician Andrew Brown, discuss the stereotypes have against individuals in their professions. In this interview, they discuss how they rebel against this stereotype by actively giving back to the community.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) December 08, 2012
In a recent article, NSIDE Austin Magazine noted that lawyers and politicians are tied for the third most-hated professions in the United States – right behind to dentists and school principles. For this very reason, Attorney Adam Loewy and politician Andrew Brown, chairman of the Travis County Democratic Party since 2008, opened up to NSIDE to show that stereotypes are often anything less than accurate.

In the interview, Attorney Loewy addressed the fact that there are many individuals who have preconceived notions about people like him and Brown simply because of their professions and who choose to not like them for one reason or another – making their job much more difficult. As a result, Attorney Loewy and Brown agreed on the importance of giving back to the community to counteract this stereotyping.

“Let’s face it: There are plenty of people who will never change their mind about who we are or what we do, but that makes it even more important to stay actively involved in giving back – actions will always speak louder than words,” said Attorney Loewy to NSIDE.

Attorney Loewy acknowledged his years of achievement as an attorney, but also shared with NSIDE ATX that “there is a certain amount of obligation that comes with success.” He claimed that much of Austin’s growth today is due to the many individuals who poured back into it when they became successful. Attorney Loewy, as well as Andrew Brown, stated that he is convinced that because they have been given much, they then should reinvest it back into the city and its residents. Attorney Loewy shared that his efforts are mainly put forward in local causes and charities as he can be sure they are truly helping those who really need it.

Rachel Brock noted that Attorney Loewy was truly “putting his money where his mouth is” in regards to his claims about giving back to the community – noting his participation as an underwriter in a major charity bash for the Center for Child Protection and Seedling Foundation, and various other charities. Brock closed the interview out by noting that these stereotypes are “all about perspective,” whereas Austin is, luckily, “all about people, and there is plenty of room here for Adam Loewy and Andy Brown.”

If you are looking for an Austin personal injury attorney, look no further than the Loewy Law Firm. Attorney Loewy is a dedicated individual who values the people rather than the cases. He is willing to do whatever it takes to help a client in need and will do so with compassion and dexterity. He is an experienced attorney with a lot to offer both to his clients and to his community. He is known for his personalized service and guarantees to each of his clients that he will personally work on their cases and help them fight for justice.
