Preview “Talking With The Taxman About Poetry” Starring Steph Jones And Vanessa Simmons
Written and directed by filmmaker Lamont Pierre, Talking With The Taxman About Poetry is an indie drama interlaced with poetic flow.
The film stars Kareem Ferguson, singer Steph Jones, Diarra Kilpatrick and Vanessa Simmons (daughter of Joseph “Reverend Run” Simmons and co-founder of Pastry Shoes).
The synopsis for the film states:
Living a comfortably meaningless, anonymous, non-existent life as a recently fired substitute teacher, THEODORE, an uninspired writer and literary scholar, is manipulated back to life when a local, lowly, enigmatic trumpet player, SEVEN, causes an awakening in him of passion, contradiction, and purpose through the medium of the written word.
This will be the third feature film by Pierre who’s previous films have screened at various film festivals including the San Francisco Black Film Festival and Atlanta Underground Film Festival.
