Episode 2: Bad reception

I love this episode. Kareem really brings it on as Robert. The idea here and what I wanted to key on was what does it mean to be a Black man every day in America. That was the primary theme, but the secondary theme was about being powerless. Robert is powerless to change his past, powerless to deal with the racism he faces and finally he is powerless, for a time, in dealing with his feelings.

The background voices and sounds were fun to play with. The alley scene with Milton was hard and traumatic to write at some points, but this is the abuse, fear and victimization that Black people could face at any moment in the deep south.

What did you think about this episode .. drop me a line and let me know.
