The award winning writer/director of “Train Ride”, and Philadelphia native, Rel Dowdell was on location in North Philadelphia shooting his latest film, “Changing the Game”.  I was able to stop by the set and interview Rel and several members of the cast.

“Changing the Game” follows the story of Darrell Barnes, who escapes the bleak streets of North Philadelphia and through education and hard work, attains success in the world of business. But before he can fully enjoy his success, he finds that the world of desks and investments is filled with many of the same double dealing, dishonest types that are common in the world of drugs and fast money.

A compelling story, based in Philadelphia, by a black writer/director with a diverse cast…isn’t this just what embracing and celebrating diversity is all about?  Check back here, or the movie’s official website to get news about the release date and showings near you.
