Greetings Web/film buffs!
 
We are KJM3 Entertainment Group, Inc., a five-year old film distribution
company based in New York City. Our debut as a company was as the
marketing/distribution consultants for the award winning independent film,
DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST.
 
In Spring 1996, KJM3 will  be releasing two new feature films: RUDE (March)
and THE MAN BY THE SHORE (May).
 
"The Man By The Shore" is a political drama set in 1960's Haiti under "Papa
Doc" Duvalier. Its the story of 8-year old Sara's intuitive struggle for
survival in the malevolent political and social environment of dictatorship.
Sara's father was forced to leave Haiti by a vicious tonton macoute
strongman, Janvier, leaving Sra behind under the precarious protection of her
grandmother.
 
While this film is set in Haiti, the human circumstance is one that would be
recognized by the fomer East Bloc nations and the dictatorships of Latin
America. The Director, Raoul Peck, is truly a master filmmaker in complete
control of his craft, his ideas and the emotional landscape that he renders
so beautifully.
 
RUDE is a hip, stylish, innovative and funky film from Canadian filmmaker,
Clement Virgo. Rude is also the name of the title character/commentator, an
underground radio jock that talks in a low, sultry voice about everything
from sex to politics, in a funky Jamaican accented spoken word cadence.
 
While the three main stories are basic and a bit melodramatic, the film is
multimedia in structure, mixing spoken word, performance art, dance and
straight narrative into a hip and stylish mediation on the urban condition.
