The Stage 32 Videos: Race Relations

From directors Adam Margolis and Jim St. Germain, Every 9 Hours is a modern-day exploration of skin color and gender and how they affect one's ability to participate in relationships and society. In 2017, 987 people were shot and killed by police in America. One every 9 hours. Black men were 3x more likely to be in that number than any other group of people. Every 9 Hours stars Phillip Smithey (“Code Black,” “Grace and Frankie”), Elisabeth Ferrera (“Lethal Weapon”), Kahyun Kim (“American Gods”), Marcy Goldman (“Airplane!”) and legendary actor Danny Trejo (Machete, Predators). The film is produced by the award-winning team of Ari Rutenberg and James Kicklighter (Angel of Anywhere, Desires of the Heart), co-produced by Jameelah Nuriddin. The director of photography is Lauren Guiteras, casting by Jaime Gallagher (The Great Illusion, Know Your Enemy), featuring a crew comprised of over 50% females and minorities.
