Byron discovers a surprising and slightly awkward kinship with Mooney as the couple waits for their car to be repaired, spending the night in a local motel. But the longer Byron and Nina stay in town, the worse things get as Mooney reveals his pent up anger and frustration to the unsuspecting Byron. The movie takes a few unexpected turns, but for the most part the audience can predict what will happen next. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though, as the story still plays out in a satisfyingly clever way, only faltering at the very end, when the plot gets a little too heavy for the script to handle. Like Byron’s BMW in the film, Spark is a smooth ride when it’s running, but as it runs out of gas, it gets a little shaky and then ultimately dies. Writer/Director Garret Williams originally filmed Spark as a black and white short in 1996. When the short garnered support (winning both 1st and Grand Prize at the USA Film Festival), he went on to recast the film and develop it as a feature. The feature version of Spark earned Williams the Jury Prize of Best Director in the Urbanworld Film Festival in 1999, a well-deserved honor. Williams’ directing is a joy to watch, along with Sam Ameen’s beautiful cinematography, using the desert landscapes as a backdrop to Byron and Nina’s bleak situation. It’s a shame that the duo only have one other shared credit: the 2001 short BB Gun. After viewing Spark, it’s abundantly clear why the ABFF DVD Series chose it as their first release. The film is taut and well-produced, the acting is superb, and the story is fairly solid. Watching Terrence Howard and Nicole Ari Parker as two unknowns in a low-budget indie film, it’s already apparent where their talents will take them. Even the most difficult of dialogue, in the hands of such experts, comes out sounding realistic and emotionally honest. The movie has its hitches, but it’s still better than most of the movies being released in theatres today. Anyone looking for an early peek at Terrence Howard’s leading man capabilities shouldn’t miss Spark. Spark is currently available to purchase for $17.99 on Amazon: www.amazon.com Spark For more information on the American Black Film Festival, visit: www.abff.com read also Reverse Phone Number Search Review Sign
