Last Black Man

This is a music video short film; a social commentary on exploitation & oppression of black culture in America.

Jamal Trulove (Played "Kofi" in the film "The Last Black Man in San Francisco") is a San Francisco native framed by police and then District Attorney Kamala Harris for the 2007 murder of an acquaintance, convicted in 2010, sentenced to 50 years to life, and imprisoned for six years.

A California appeals court overturned his conviction in 2014 and he was retried in 2015 and acquitted.

Director Statement

An artist at heart, I began my film making journey with paint and a canvas. I believe cinema is in a way to paint a picture, I want my "paintings" to ultimately change and influence the way people view the world.
