Event Title:  Screening for "School Without Walls"

Event Address:    District Lounge, 2473 18th St NW (Washington, DC)

Event Host: Tanecia Britt of the DMV International Film Festival

Sponsor: Crystal Head Vodka

Why did you attended this event?  In support of the producer and director of the film, Tanecia Britt

Did you have an active role in this event?  If so, what & why? No, just an invited guest.

How would you decribe the setup of the event? the appearance?  Great. The location was nice as it provided an open floor and plenty of viewing opportunities of the film.

What was the highlight of the event?  Seeing Tanecia's name in the production credits ;)

What could have been better about the event?  I arrived late so I cannot properly gauge what was needed.

Give a brief summary of how you think the event turned out as a whole?  I believe people were in awe of the directorial debut of Tanecia Britt in Washington DC (she may have done viewings prior to this but this was the first that I attended). Anyhow, aside from that, the ability to converse with various talents in the DC area over Crystal Head vodka was a plus as well ;)

Pick one word that best describes the event:  Exciting

Description:  Music Review 


Critique: Lyrics are ok, but honestly I was not feeling the video.  It didn’t really have a lot of energy.  I know it is a love song and it is not meant be all bubbly and high energy, but there still wasn’t that chemistry that you look for in love song music videos.  There was much interaction with him and the girl portrayed as his girlfriend.  Based on the lyrics and title of the song, I expected the video to tell a story about the complex struggle he is having with this girl, but that wasn’t there.  And because of that, I lost the interest in really enjoying the whole video experience.  I need more camera interaction and real personal feel to draw me in and have me relate to the video. 


Miss ID, she was doing the hook. She was overdoing it.  Too me, she was being too sexy.  That vulnerability was not there.  Sonny’s lyrics are about the struggle of being in love not the sexiness of being in love.  I would have loved to see or softer side of her, not just sex appeal.  There is a way of being sexy without looking like all you want is sex.


Overall, I really enjoyed the song, but I needed and expected a little more.  I think with a little more work in front of the camera and really studied how both Sonny Corleone and Miss ID look when they are in front of the camera, they could make a great music video and pull in their listeners and watchers more.
