Black Heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CATxCkAW0rA&feature=related is a modern cautionary tale, an urban drama examining the relationships that tie hearts into sometimes stifling bonds with unhealthy dependencies, all with predictable results. What is pleasantly unpredictable is the effect the deft hand of producer Kenya Cagle (“Goodnight Charlie”) will have on this production. In his role of producer, co-director, there's no telling who will end up behind or in front of the camera. His decision to use budding, young writer/director, Stephanie Walker, nicknamed “The Task Master,” on this his 30th independent film, and is one of those deft moves.
Black Heart is Cagle's 30th film. One of his most favorite and acclaimed films is the 2005 film “Goodnight Charlie” which was presented in more than a dozen festivals winning several awards including Best Picture in a 2005 festival held in Spain. Recently, “Black Heart” won the Best Film Award at the 2011 Philadelphia Film Festival in Philadelphia. Now the film screen at three more film festivals in Los Angeles and New York: the Action On Film Festival in July, the Maysles Cinema in August and October.
