S For Story/10438140
TORONTO - s4story -- When a Black man is viciously assaulted by police outside their window, all of the guests at a dinner party seem to consider the attack unremarkable except for one.
A short film by multiracial Black Toronto-based filmmaker Richard B. Pierre (@afroflix) with funding from the Ontario Arts Council.
Starring: Richard Walters from Degrassi, Jamie Mac, Hanneke Talbot and Franckie Francois.
From a film studio dedicated to telling stories about diverse individuals, Afro Flix Inc. is pleased to announce the release of AN UNINVITED GUEST. Written, produced and directed by award-winning Toronto-based filmmaker Richard B. Pierre, AN UNINVITED GUEST is a short film that tackles the crimes perpetrated by police on the Black community.
In 2014, Pierre, a multiracial Black man, was moved to write AN UNINVITED GUEST after hearing a series of unfortunate events involving the police and the Black community.

Addressing such dark subject matter was challenging not only to write, but also to produce. Pierre states, "This project would not have been possible without their support so I would like to acknowledge funding support from the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario."
