A MOVIE FOR THE BLIND.

New project by filmmaker/video artist Kenzo Hakuta Called CITY OF GOD'S SON: A Hip-Hop Soundscape. It can be described as an epic, a musical, a soundscape, a movie for the blind, an art installation and a coming-of-age story. Kenzo also refers to CITY OF GOD'S SON as "viral musical sound art." CITY OF GOD'S SON is a blend of multiple media and art genres and it explores new grounds for unconventional storytelling and ultimately gives rise to what Kenzo terms the world's first "Beat Cinematic". Kenzo arrived at this term by combining various mediums including 3D audio, multiple musical genres, and sound bites. Using some of hip-hop's and film's greatest talents (including Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls, Ghostface, Raekwon, Delroy Lindo, Samuel L. Jackson, Laurence Fishburne, and Joe Bataan), his aim is to create his own cross-medium ensemble cast, and out of many mediums, to create something epic and new.
