$TACK$

On the eve of the Covid-19 worldwide quarantine, Daytime Emmy nominated producer, Gerald Webb, made his directorial debut in 2020 with the edgy short film $TACK$.

Synopsis: Unprecedented times force two fierce rivals to come face to face for the first time in over a decade, to close a deal for the most valuable substance on earth.

Starring: Mark Christopher Lawrence, Diahnna Nicole Baxter, Calvin Winbush, Tarnue Massaquoi, Jamie Burton-Oare and Jadarrell Belser

Directed, Written and Produced by: Gerald Webb

Runtime: 7:26

Director statement: $TACK$, at its core, is a film that holds a mirror up to every viewer and every member of our society offering them the opportunity to see the best and the worst in themselves. Upon first view almost everyone misses the stinging social commentary and myriad of clues teasing the audience as to what’s truly unfolding on screen. Purposefully daring them to confront the judgments and assumptions in their own minds. What judgements will you make and how will they affect your views of Magdalena, Hector, Ty, Rube, Momo and Jordan? In the end what do those judgements reflect within you?

The high production values and quality of actor on-screen just add to the overall feeling. It is a clever and confident debut that pays off superbly due to the meticulous lead-in.

$TACK$ – Review

TACK$ is a film that is very much of its time. With the world still dealing with the global pandemic, the short movie takes a look at a very particular problem associated with everything that is going on.

Movie Short Review: ‘$tack$’ – RedCarpetCrash.com

Greetings again from the darkness. The set-up is a familiar one. Two tough guys, armed with weapons, snap at each other about the meeting that is about to go down. Tensions are high. Taking place in an underground garage for privacy, and as the SUV approaches, the two men bow up – looking ready for action.
