Description:Oakland art student Pica Sullivan (Toby Smith) wasn't endearing herself to her teachers-for rendering her photographic studies with a Polaroid instead of 35 mm, and limiting her subjects to young African-American males in the belief they were going extinct. Making a friend of the abused Tobi (April Barnett), who disguises herself as a man for protection, they might be one another's salvation against a local slasher. Writer-director Cauleen Smith's rediscovered study co-stars Salim Akil. 86 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurette; theatrical trailer; more.
Drylongso, now available on Blu-Ray from the renowned Criterion Collection, is a powerful and poignant film that explores themes of identity, community, and survival in urban America. Directed by Cauleen Smith in her feature debut, Drylongso follows Pica Sullivan (played by Toby Smith), a young art student who documents the lives of Black men in Oakland amid rising violence. The film stands out for its intimate storytelling and unique visual style. The Criterion Collection is celebrated worldwide for its meticulous restorations and thoughtful curation of significant films; their releases are prized by cinephiles for high-quality transfers and insightful bonus materials. Director Cauleen Smith has built an impressive career as both filmmaker and multimedia artist; her later works have been exhibited at major institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art. Lead actress Toby Smith delivers a nuanced performance that anchors the film?s emotional core. Supporting cast members include April Barnett?known for her work in independent cinema?and Will Power, an acclaimed playwright and performer whose contributions to theater have earned him national recognition. Cinematographer Andrew Black's evocative visuals further enhance this landmark work.
