                             A short film by Bob Celli

"A well crafted and beautifully shot portrait of racism that existed in a very blatant form right after WWII. It still haunts us to this day."

  Kristi Zea - (2 Time Academy Award Nominee)  Revolutionary Road, As Good as It Gets, The  Departed, Silence of the Lambs
                                                                    

 “Intense. A moving story of a man's love, pride, and haunted past. A story that reminds us how man's inhumanity to man destroys us all.”

            Wendell Pierce  - (NAACP Image Award Winner)                                                Selma, Confirmation, The Wire                                                                        

         BROOKLYN IN JULY  is the story of Frank Walker, an African-American WWII veteran working as a chauffeur. He struggles to keep his emotions in check as he strives for freedom and equality in a slowly evolving world. He is a man scarred by a past that is lurking skin deep.

         It is the summer of 1945. The War is all but won. The U.S. is riding a wave of triumph even as the undertow of unresolved issues roils beneath. Frank, like so many other African-Americans of the time, is drawn to New York by the promise of better life only to be confronted by the same realities, fear, and hatred he hoped he had left behind.
