Ian Reid’s “Street Is Talking”

If you’ve ever seen the Sam Mendes film “American Beauty” and you happen to have a real appreciation for the story told in that fine piece of cinema, then you probably made a connection with the character called Ricky Fitts. He’s the one that carries a video camera around with him at all times and documents every single insignificant piece of beauty he comes across for his personal video collection. We see him videotape dead animals, his naked neighbor, and of course the plastic bag that was talking to him. It’s a great message really.
Ian Reid is like a real life Ricky Fitts. If you’ve seen his first movie “Sex, Hood, Skate, And Videotape”, I’m sure that you will be a fan of his new movie “Street Is Talking”. It’s pretty much the same non-storytelling documentary styled movie with a bunch of randomness Ian comes across on his daily routine.
The movie stars Ian Reid, Brian Wenning, Stevie Williams, Jamal Smith, Tim Johnson, and appearances by all of your favorite skaters, hood dudes and hot girls. Check out the trailer below.
