Below find a trailer for writer/director Crosby Tatum’s feature film “Confused…by Love,” which is currently traveling the film festival circuit, with a next stop set for this Friday, June 24th, at 6pm, at the Roxbury International Film Festival Massachusetts.
A synopsis for the film reads: “Married for only a single year, Ferguson and Tiffany Marie Middlebecker’s marriage, is suddenly on the rocks when they both find themselves broke, and about to lose their lovely home to sudden foreclosure. Hope however comes in the form of Reggie Maxwell, Ferguson’s former best friend, and Jo-Jo, Ferguson ex-girlfriend, who both pop out of nowhere, to help Ferguson and Tiffany out, if they can both stay at their home for 5 days straight. Hidden skeletons and uncomfortable secrets soon begin to reveal themselves to these four individuals as they do all that they can to not only save a home, but their respective relationships as well, before it’s too late.”
Keith Mascoll, Jamie M. Perez, Simba Dibinga, and Jordan Lloyd star.
The film was produced on a minimal budget, and shot for six straight days in the Dorchester/Roxbury area of Boston, MA.
“To me, ‘Confused…by Love’ represents a point in our lives when we love our significant other, and when times get rough, we don’t necessarily know how to handle the situation as it compounds our normalcy and often allows us to question if the situation we are in, is ‘right,’ or if it is ‘wrong,'” director Tatum explains.
The film premiered at the 2015 Urban Mediamakers Film Festival in Atlanta, GA, where it won the festival’s Audience Award. It’s most recent screened at the International Pan African Film Festival that takes place in Cannes, France.
Up next is a stop at the 18th edition of the Roxbury International Film Festival, where it’ll screen alongside films we’ve recently covered on this blog, like “9 Rides,” and “How to Tell You’re a Douchebag,” among many others.
Tickets for the Roxbury screening of the film can be purchased at roxburyinternationalfilmfestival.com, and on the “Confused…by Love” website at www.confusedfilm.com.
Members of the cast and crew are scheduled to be in attendance for the screening and for the duration of the entire film festival.
