Acceptable Losses
"The War at Home"

Narrative Drama
Written by: Cedric Hill
Story by: Retired Sgt. Benson O Smith
Three men return from combat but none of them are survivors. Acceptable Losses tells the story of three soldiers' struggle adjusting to society. Underneath, the film deals with emotions that we all share: fear, abandonment and isolation. Acceptable Losses allows the audience to absorb the reality of the aftermath of war without experiencing it themselves. The film begs the question, what are we willing to lose to achieve a goal? All of the characters in the film lose a part of themselves and subsequently so do the people around them. Our story deals with the loss that cannot be calculated. The themes in Acceptable Losses are universal, while being a story of Veterans told by a Veteran. Acceptable Losses explores the silent suffering that eats away at the inner peace many soldiers seek. This is the Deer Hunter for a new time, a new war and a new audience.

Verse for Verse
"I will spit fire like chocolate for the ears"

Documentary
Written by: Cedric Hill
Verse for Verse is an 8 week interactive workshop that places 10 young, hip-hop writers/performers in a learning environment to introduce them or further their understanding of Shakespeare. The fact that there are countless examples of blank and irregular verse in rap songs and that most people creating this brand of music are unaware of the similarities to Shakespeare is astounding. The aim of the project is to connect an icon of the Western world (Shakespeare) with this new, expansive medium, therefore breathing new life into what has become a one dimensional artform.The project will be punctuated with a live performance, including classical and graffiti artists, an orchestra, and DJs.
