The Film is a Music Album by Dontah created to be seen through sound. The idea to make it visual was created by his grandmother.

The Is Locana House The Future?
Locana House
The Sound Of Garage Tape Records is like an old car, a radio, vintage, vinyl or something made in a garage.
"The drug lord role was weird because I never really liked a Scarface or Big Meech. I liked the cool guys, to me that was a weird creep like Rumpelstiltskin or Duke from G.I.Joe, they just had a cool to them that grabbed me."
"I love hollywood I really am into film, story telling, the way things are shot, themes, styles of acting, and improvised acting. Watching movies is like a study hobby for me. I get everything from movies., my childhood, and the sound of things. Which is why The Film came to be because making things look like what I hear. Granted I only had so much film but I put the things where they seemed fit and I think I did well with that. And not prolonging it where it didn't need, I tried to keep it simple"
The Montana Black Role
Possible future in acting?
"Acting in films is a dream, I study great actors. With the makeup Montana Black role I really enjoyed it because I got to be who I really feel like I am. The things I hold back, with acting it's like you can just embrace all that ugly; you should regardless, but it's a different feeling. It's play, who doesn't like to play in a certain way? The world is so serious, so getting to just forget about yourself is a kind of drug, like music."
