Filmmaker Adam Bhala Lough brings his latest work to the Sundance Film Festival this year, entitled “Weapons.” The film follows a group of teenagers who become involved in a series of seemingly random killings over the course of a weekend. “A haunted hip-hop soundtrack drenches this insightful study of teenage character and value systems in a world where everyone seems to have a gun,” writes Sundance, “but the most dangerous weapon is the one unleashed by tender things broken inside innocent hearts.” Adam Bhala Lough other recent work includes Bomb the System, Farmhouse, and music videos for Mf Doom and Joe Strummer.
