He and his troublemaking childhood best friend\, Miles (Rafael Casal)\, work as movers\, and when Collin witnesses a police shooting\, the two men’s friendship is tested as they grapple with identity and their changed realities in the rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood they grew up in. Longtime friends and collaborators\, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in this timely and wildly entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland. Bursting with energy\, style\, and humour\, and infused with the spirit of rap\, hip hop\, and spoken word\, Blindspotting\, boldly directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada in his feature film debut\, is a provocative hometown love letter that glistens with humanity. \n  \n4 WINS\, 2 NOMINATIONS:\nWon – Festival Director’s Award\, U.S. Narrative\, Cinetopia Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Critics Award\, Deauville Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Best Original Song – “Talk to Me”\, Nashville Film Festival\, 2018\nWon – Director’s to Watch\, Carlos López Estrada\, Palm Springs International Film Festival\, 2018\nNominated – Grand Jury Prize\, Dramatic\, Sundance Film Festival\, 2018 \n  \n\n\n
