Movie #1583 ........................."Mr. Talented"

Movie #1583 "Mr. Talented" is the first short we saw in the Milwaukee Film Festival offering entitled: Black Lens Shorts Presented by HBO:  Be True to You" -- this one was put together by Jeffrey Rochee, and it concerns an African American artist at his show and how he tries to play the game of trying to charm people who could buy some of his art, or be a constant supporter for his work; instead, he loses his temper at a condescending remark and starts to have a breakdown.  This was a tough watch (besides it being awkward dialogue between artist and the audience members at the show, the camera movement was too dizzying for my eyes and I found that annoying).  But it was riveting and there were a few surprises in it for such a short film.  I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
