Actor/Writer/Producer, and "Cornish College of the Arts - Favorite Son," Charles Norris brings us "Bamboozled” (2000) Starring: Damon Wayans, Jada Pinkett, Michael Rappaport, Savion Glover, and Tommy Davidson. We unpack this (very well packed) 'Spike Lee Joint,' about the gives and takes / wills and wonts / dos and donts of making it in the industry. This rarely seen gem has now reached cult status, even being named to several "Top 10" lists for the first ten years of the millennium. How much performance is TOO much performance? How many DV cameras are TOO much? We may answer those questions, but you may just be getting BAMBOOZLED!!
Plot: A frustrated African-American TV writer proposes a blackface minstrel show in protest, but to his chagrin, it becomes a hit.
