Guns in the hood: a reel slice of life

Before “The Education of Shelby Knox,” a short titled “Bullets in the Hood: A Bed-Stuy Story” is the story told by a young filmmaker named Terrence Fisher about guns his neighborhood, the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of New York City. Part of a program to help young filmmakers, in both training and the use of equipment, the film – which is just 22 minutes long – shows what someone can do with an idea, a digital camera and some basic storytelling talent. A film such as this is just what wannabe filmmakers all over should be studying. Imagine the stories that could be told by, and about, Spokane teens.
