Experiencing Interruptions?

Optimistic Yes

Optimistic Yes is an experimental film from Angelo Moore of Fishbone (Band) and Jeff Pliskin of Raised Fist (Film & Photography) that discusses the Powers of Positivity. We as humans can choose between good & evil with manifestation - and this short piece provides choices the main characters must make. Donny Doldrum (played by Angelo Moore) who laments being chased by hypothetical negative zombies in his life and HR of Bad Brains (band) who chooses wisely by maintaining optimism by any means necessary. Optimistic Yes, as Angelo ends the film, strongly argues that there is no other way than by being Positive and Optimistic as represented by metaphorical angels and zombies who constantly try to sway us.
