Vacant Lot

A very powerful and meaningful story so very succinctly told. As an actor and a filmmaker I commend Mr. Skinner on having the courage to embark on that so very difficult "maiden voyage". Your vision was absolute and clear. You made it! We now embrace you as "one of us"!

I really enjoyed this film. It reminded me of some young black males I know that went through or is going through this same situation. I not only enjoyed the film but also the artwork. The artwork alone was excellent!! The music was perfect for this film, it went right along with what was going on. I would recommend this film to anyone, especially to young black males trying to find themselves. Two thumbs up!!!

It's refreshing to see true love between a father and son. Few films show this relationship in true light. Very moving film!!! The Jazz pieces seemed like a character within itself. I'm looking forward to seeing more from these young filmmakers.

Vacant Lot is a well told story that I recommend other view. The acting as well as the visual images are second to none. I found myself identifying with Polaris and the individual relationships he had with the other characters. Without question, Fiddle Wilson was my favorite. Great movie!

Skinner's movie is packed with much more than it promises. It provides an interesting view of the enduring strength of family and the power of love. The special bond between music and father and son.

I liked the enduring strength of family and the healing power of love brought out in this movie. I felt that it was wonderfully written and unforgettable.
