Abstract:
Filmed on the gritty streets of the south side of Chicago, STONY ISLAND tells the story of Richie Bloom (Richie Davis) -- the only white kid on the block -- as he forms an R&B band with his best friend, Kevin (Edward ‘Stoney’ Robinson). With the help of their mentor -- an aging-sax legend, Percy (Gene ‘Daddy G’ Barge) -- they pull together a funky supergroup stealing practice time at night in the local funeral home. Despite few resources and heavy losses, this resilient group of dedicated musicians -- armed only with wit slight-of-hand and outrageous Chicago bravado -- must come together to finally make their smash debut. "Nominated for Best Feature" at the **Chicago International Film Festival**
