Spike Lee’s New Joint! “Red Hook Summer” Trailer Released (VIDEO)
Spike Lee’s new film is about a young man’s who moves from to the notorious Red Hook projects to be with his preacher grandfather for the summer.

This is something that only new artsy directors do, not someone with Lee’s experience and connections. After a few months in limbo, “Red Hook Summer” finally received a distributor with Variance Films for its theatrical release beginning August 10th in New York.

Lee’s tenacity and longevity in the movie business stems in part from him always ‘remembering where he came from’.
