The Hood [Met Film School Short film] @reece.grant (Dir. by Reece Grant)

THE HOOD is my debut short film (social realism/crime drama/hood short film) and is a proof of concept film. THE HOOD is a realistic, gritty short film set in Lewisham and shot in a handheld documentary style. I wrote, directed, edited and produced this film when I was 19. Unfortunately, there will be no part 2, however, I will remake “THE HOOD” in the future as my debut feature film.
The storyline for THE HOOD was inspired by my real-life experiences in South East London, Lewisham Borough, and produced by Met Film School. The cast has a mixture of professional and non-professional actors, the soundtrack for the film was an original score by Laura Pickton and Franco Cugusi and the camera we used was a Sony PMW-EX3.
Special thanks to my Producer Xhuljon Gashi! for making this short film possible! and Reel Film Locations for giving us a free filming permit.

My first film to get 1 million views 🏆on KZbin on my own channel 🙌🏾 even though it took 4 years lol I’m still happy hopefully this is the first of many 🙏🏽 For those who was wondering if there will be a Hood 2 and why I previously disabled the comments before 1 million views 😂 it was because Im such a perfectionist and wasn’t happy with the result as my Executive Producer didn’t allow me to use my ending. I originally wrote this to be a feature film and based it around my real life experiences and true events in Lewisham as this was a story very close to me, so when the film was completed I didn't really like the film so I never wanted to send it to festivals and I wasn't even going to upload it to KZbin as I’m such a perfectionist and I felt she ruined my story and vision. I am still pursuing film directing there’s many more Reece Grant classics to come 😎 thank you to everyone who was involved for cast, crew and liked, shared, subscribed to my KZbin. Follow my IG instagram.com/reece.grant and KZbin to stay updated with my films, thank you!!!
