When a burst water pipe flooded one of his key locations in 2017, director J.B. Armstrong wasn’t sure how he could complete his feature film debut. ”I remember just seeing water pouring from the ceiling in every room,” he says.
Two years later, filming was able to resume, a comeback that he says reflects “the spirit of Detroit that a lot of people embody, that spirit of hustle and drive and perseverance.”
“Solomon” will be among the movies screened at the first-ever Detroit Black Film Festival. The two-day virtual event on Friday and Saturday will showcase the work of Black independent filmmakers.
