Hood Classics and Barrio Classics


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The idea of the hood classics of cinema came up… Boyz n the Hood, Menace II Society, Belly, South Central, Colors, New Jersey Drive.

So of course I go to the barrio Classics,

 

 

70s Walk Proud, Blvd Nights

80s Colors, Duke Of Earl, La Bamba, Stand and Deliver.

90s  Mi Vida Loca, Blood in Blood out, American Me, Mi Familia.

 

 

 

Am I missing any? Do you see anything problematic with this list?

Is it time for another barrio story? Maybe one that doesn’t take place in California.

All love to the Classics!!

Young Harperos By USC #gradschool

PhystyPelonHPSSitting here trying to take a minute to breathe before tomorrow’s Cinco De Mayo in Pueblo, Coloraztlan. I just got back from shooting in Avondale tonight and yesterday was hectic getting my Sundance Lab application in.PhystyHPSPhystyNecioHPS

I was taking a minute to get my prints ready for Cinco and for some reason I was thinking of the young Harpys homies that used to come around my spot while at SC.PelonHPS

I used to talk with them about my screenplay and they even helped me on one of my documentary pitch tapes. Just thinking… and I hope things are good for them wherever they may be there in the West Side of the City Of Angels.
