System, Mike Sike, Derek Brown, DJ Witch For more information, please visit www.blackhorsebrooklyn.com and www.firsttouchonline.com Gangster's Paradise The celluloid stories of legendary African film director, Ralph Ziman are universal and have played to wide acceptance in Africa . His 2010 film Gangster’s Paradise is now finally coming to America’s famed art house theatre in NYC: The Angelika Film Center. Ziman believes that these tough economic times only add to the need for thinking American audiences to be exposed to issues beyond the borders of the United States and Gangster’s Paradise truly delivers a cinematic TKO. But the challenges of reaching the U.S. market as an indie filmmaker and producer abroad proved enormous––even for Ziman, who is originally from South Africa. The gripping cinematic urban masterpiece is a huge breakthrough for Ziman and has garnered great buzz through out the hip hop community in anticipation of its June release dates in both NYC, LA and Houston. “I’d been looking for a crime story in my home town for quite some time, and even with this [crime] proliferation, it was eluding me. Then one day in 2003, the story found me. A friend in South Africa who manages property had a tale to tell.” His work has included numerous ground-breaking film projects that have earned him accolades that include words like “visionary” and “genius.” Recent press for Gangster’s Paradise added the title of “The Jewish Spike Lee of Africa.” “Ziman has an enviable gift for simply brilliant storytelling and his movies resonate with urban audiences long after one leaves the movie theater, says award -winning N-based producer, RJ Harper. Ralph’s multi award-winning films are totally official urban tales and I can’t wait for him to blow up here in America much like Spike Lee. Ziman is just so ‘that dude!’” See trailer on You Tube.
