"Holding Hands"
|
 Young lovers struggle with family, friends, and society to overcome the stigma of being and interracial couple. To make a statement, they don t-shirts with charged comments that stir up everyone they encounter. Tragically, their mischief turns to mayhem and they must defend themselves against and intollerant mob. |
| ABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Brett Meyer came from a little town called Milford, which is in the southern part of Michigan. To get an idea of it's size, it has two gas stations and two grocery stores to choose from. "It was pretty boring in our little town and I told myself I was going to move to California, live by the beach and then after a year of residency, I would attend school for film". So Brett and a friend packed the car and drove across the country to live the American dream. After many classes at Long Beach City College, he finally transferred to California State University at Fullerton where he is currently in his senior year. His latest project is “Holding Hands”. He feels that people should look past the interracial stereotypes of a black and white couple. Though the Civil Rights movement was many years ago, Brett had encountered many snickers and remarks in his past while being a part of an interracial couple. He feels that "Holding Hands" is a great visual for those who can relate to the struggles to overcome societal stigmas. He plans to get this film out to the America public by entering it in more film festivals, with the hope of breaking the barriers and stereotypes of interracial couples. |
