A six year old girl from the southern Delta searches for her long lost mother after her father falls ill and the world spins out of balance. A harsh but loving father, Wink swore that his beloved daughter Hushpuppy would be prepared for the day he was no longer able to look after her. Little did Wink realize that day would come sooner than anyone suspected, and when illness strikes him down nature runs amuck. As the soaring temperatures melt ice caps and the sea levels swell, a race of prehistoric beasts named the aurochs emerge to reclaim the planet. Meanwhile, as the apocalypse unfolds, determined Hushpuppy bravely sets out on a mission to reunite with the mother she’s never known.

Spike Lee Says ‘Red Hook Summer’ Isn’t A Sequel To ‘Do The Right Thing’
by Kevin Jagernauth | September 21, 2011
Clarke Peters from ‘The Wire,’ Nate Parker And Other Cast Members Revealed
Director, writer, actor, producer and prolific Twitter presence Spike Lee isn’t shy about speaking his mind. But when it comes to his next effort, “Red Hook Summer,” he’s been playing it very coy. What we know thus far is the film finished shooting in August and will be “Burning Up Da Summer 2012!.” The story will center on an adult from Atlanta who spends a summer in the titular hood. And oh yeah, Lee will be reprising his character of Mookie from “Do The Right Thing.” However, don’t expect Radio Raheem to be making an appearance.
Shadow & Act noticed that Lee hit Twitter yesterday to clear up some rumors about the film, posting: ” ‘Red Hook Summer’ is not a Sequel to ‘Do The Right Thing’ and it has nothing to do with [his Fort Greene/Michael Jackson project] ‘Brooklyn Loves MJ.’ Subject Matter? New Spike Lee Joint YO.” So then, what is it, Spike? Our guess is that we have a new movie on our hands from the director (awesome) and that the much publicized appearance of Mookie may be nothing more than a cameo. At any rate, it doesn’t look like the familiar stable of actors Lee works with will be dropping by either (unless they’ve done it on the sly).
The folks over at Blackfilm have revealed that the cast features mostly unknowns with a couple of recognizable faces, including Clarke Peters (Lester Freamon from “The Wire”), Nate Parker (who will have a role in the upcoming “Red Tails”), Turron Kofi Alleyne, Samantha Ivers, Limary Agosto, Heather Simms and Kalon Jackson.
So more bits and pieces to put together, and Lee will keep teasing us until he’s good and ready to give us a look. But we’re glad he’s back and let’s hope that 2012’s is the “Red Hook Summer” we’ve been waiting for.

Sundance Senior Programmer Shari Frilot, who is the only African American on the seven-member programming panel, attributes the record number to several factors, including “accessibility to filmmaking,” saying, “it used to be elitist — not anymore.” Yes, the cost of making movies has gone down as the technology has gotten better, but that is only part of the reason more blacks are making films and more of those films are being shown at Sundance.
Frilot, who has been with the festival for 11 years, credits an older generation of black filmmakers with paving the way for the new guard. “The groundwork was laid before them, and they are coming from programs that support them,” Frilot says.
