The only fiction feature directed by Billy Woodberry is a low-key drama about a man who is unemployed, living in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, struggling to help support his wife and children. Woodberry, a member of the L.A. Rebellion group of Black filmmakers who emerged from UCLA, developed the film as his college thesis, and fellow Rebellion member and 2017 Honorary Oscar recipient Charles Burnett served as the film’s screenwriter and cinematographer. In 2013, the Library of Congress selected Woodberry’s film for preservation in the National Film Registry.
