Bosco

BOSCO moves the spirit and invites viewers to consensually shatter our own preconceived notions and conditioning around right and wrong, moral and evil, justice, family, and human potential. I've been in the industry since I was a child. In 2014 I left Hollywood to do more direct social justice work.

BOSCO restored my faith in the power of mindful media powered by guttural and righteous Truths, backed by the community itself. Aubrey Joseph bares the character's soul. Brilliant writing and cinematography offer intense glimpses into his depth of intellect and resilience. The action is as spiritual as much as it is physical. Some scenes are are to watch, yet offer a pill we didn't know we needed.

It was also a pleasure to meet the cast and crew at the premier. Everyone is like a family and is so supportive of Quawntay and his daughter. Several expressed knowing loved ones in similar positions. The time is now to grow the movement around prison reform and BOSCO is an inside edge that can build trust with people from all walks of life.

I look forward to how far this film will reach in terms of both acclaim and impact.

Was the most captivating film I've seen in years. Aubrey Joseph did an amazing job at portraying BOSCO. Movie was absolutely 10/10

Not often does a movie hold my attention for an hour or 90 minutes, this one did! It was both stunning and eye opening. How have we let our penal system get to this point? BOSCO is a low key genius too, how did he manage that on his own?

It leaves you wondering how many more BOSCOs there are out there who haven't escaped. It's sad, but I'm glad we're using cinema to open the eyes of the masses. One way to people's hearts and mind, has always been through beautiful cinema, and BOSCO fits the bill.

Well-made in a simple way, it has an engaging storyline, well-acted, sort of slow-paced not in a bad way, lots of suspension of disbelief, showing well enough in a tight frame a disproportionate system and "prejudices" that go with it.

The biographical story is saddening, but one cannot do anything about it cause there's a system in place and lonely souls get crushed in that world or are left with scars forever.

OK so what does a movie need to really slap?

1. An all start ensemble cast (check) 2. A well written script that brings the prison cell and following escape, backstory to life (check) 3. A story that, is compelling, and in this case TRUE TO LIFE! (check) 4. Artistic style and direction (check check)

BOSCO is a quadruple threat. Checking all of the boxes. What a fantastic debut for budding talent, the writer and director Nicholas Manuel Pino. The story of BOSCO, the man himself, is insane. Escaping max security prison? The only person to do it in 2006. Watch this film!

I am very much looking forward to Nicholas' next film!!!
