History :
              For independent directors such as Jerry LaMothe, getting the next project off the ground always comes with challenges. It’s one thing when you have had earlier success, as in the case of his first film, “Amour Infinity”, which received many accolades and rave reviews when it toured the festival circuit in 2001, but when the second film doesn’t do as well, the well-known term, “sophomore slump” is attached to his name. That was the case with “Nora’s Hair Salon”, which had some marketable names in the film (Jenifer Lewis, Tatyana Ali, Bobby Brown), but had gone straight to DVD with little fanfare and mixed reviews.         LaMothe was the director for hire on the project with little control. For his next film, he hopes the third time could be the charm as he’s assembled quite a cast for a film dealing with a major event that shook New York a few years ago. The film is called “Blackout” and the cast includes Jeffrey Wright and Zoe Saldana amongst a bevy of veteran actors. In speaking with blackfilm.com, LaMothe talks about how special this film is to him, working with such amazing talent and the challenges on his previous film.
