Tall Enough

Tall Enough from Strike Anywhere on Vimeo.



Tall Enough is short film by director, Barry Jenkins. It tells the story of an interracial couple living together as photographers in New York City.

I stumbled upon this gem when I was looking for another movie directed by Barry Jenkins called Medicine for Melancholy that I saw last year. Hoping to find it on DVD, I just so happened to click the right link from google at the right time and...viola! I found yet another reason to support Jenkins and his amazing work as a new director.

I just love the way Jenkins takes a taboo in African American society and exposes it into a beautiful masterpiece. His message is concise with little controversy (unlike some other Black directors *cough* Spike Lee *cough*), which is why I hope to see more of him in the future!
