My directors choice and review

Damon Russells directing style really reflects how times are changing in the world of film and video. He focuses a lot of his talent on perfecting reality type films. In (my personal favorite) "Snow On Tha Bluff" he blends the documentary and reality genre into almost seeming like the movie was truly made by a crackhead with a stolen camera. Russel uses natural lighting to place the focus on other aspects of the film. Such as, how he magnifys whats already true. For example, when filming on the streets of tha bluff a.k. Atlanta GA, he would splash water or oil on the streets to just make them seem riddled with leaked gas trails. Also, he'd add to trash in the enviornment (that im sure he picked up after) showing how crucial it is in the enviornment. I think whats most original about the director is that he truly has mastered the art of giving off the purpose of a documentary while actually making a movie. I think to give him the full glory he may be the new generations spike lee, but i should probably place that title carefully because we all know how big of shoes those are to fill!
