The Maysles Cinema run of Triggering Wounds (Saturday, April 27th- Friday, May 3rd) will be preceded by a short film titled Bullets in Hood: A Bed-Stuy Story.
Bullets in the Hood: A Bed-Stuy Story
Terrence Fisher and Daniel Howard, 2005, 22 min.
Terrence Fisher, a teen living in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, had seven of his friends shot and killed by a gun violence. What could Terrence do to stop gun violence in Bed-Stuy before losing another friend, or his own life? Terrence and a fellow teen filmmaker, Daniel Howard, picked up a camera to tell the story about gun violence in Bed-Stuy. A few months into the production, Terrence lost another friend. This time, Timothy Stansbury who was his best friend from elementary school, was shot and killed by a police officer right in front of Terrence. This film follows their journey to pay tribute to Timothy so that this story can spread to the world outside of Bed-Stuy.
