"I can taste the salt of my tears as I swallow the truth." The Big We has released a brand new 2020 trailer for an indie film titled Follow Me Home, which originally premiered at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and opened in theaters in 1997. Written & directed by Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Peter Bratt, the film stars Alfre Woodard, Benjamin Bratt, Jesse Borrego, Calvin Levels, Steve Reevis, featuring a then-unknown Salma Hayek. Drawing upon Native, African and Latino culture, Follow Me Home is a rebellious fable of four Los Angeles street artists who hatch a plan to cover the White House with vibrantly painted murals. Joined by a woman with a haunting secret, they set off on an impetuous joyride across a desert landscape steeped in magic, mystery and danger. A powerful celebration of art, history, music and community, the film challenges long-held beliefs about race and identity in America, adding an important voice to today's racial reckoning.

Thus begins a depiction of their famous art-world bromance, brought to life in a recent in-progress rehearsal of Levels’s play Collaboration: Warhol & Basquiat, a dramatic reimagining of the working process between the two artists as they created a series of collaborative canvases that mashed up Warhol’s slick Pop imagery with Basquiat’s neo-expressionist brushstrokes in the mid-1980s, just as the younger artist’s notoriety was peaking...

Hellbound (1994) Director: Aaron Norris Stars: Chuck Norris, Calvin Levels, Christopher Neame Chuck Norris vs. Satan! Okay, technically Chuck Norris doesn't fight the Devil himself in Hellbound. But that's one of the funnier things about this 1994 movie from Cannon Films (producers of Norris classics like Missing In Action and Delta Force). Why they didn't just go for broke and have the Bearded One take on Ol' Scratch is beyond me. I'm sure plenty of fans of justice...
