Tabula Rasa

The Hook: A Poem on Film

Release Date : May 2004

 

This film was, in many ways, the first Respect! Film. It features much of the talent that would go on to produce future projects, and lays in some critical themes and motifs. It was shot in January 2004, and released in May 2004. The film received the 2005 LMC-TV Award for Best Dramatic Video.

This file is, unfortunately, taken from a VHS tape. A digital master is still available, but currently inaccessible. We're still working on that, in the meantime, this is what we have.
