Crystal Meth: Urban Movies and Graphic Content. Not PG-13 Filmmaking
When I got serious about writing and directing I knew The plots had to feature authentic characters and situations and deal with heightened urban situations, crime and action.was created to fullfilll this filmmaing dream.
to make people feel relaxed and comfortable as they watched. I’ve always felt true urban crime movies reflect what is happening on the streets. Case in point. It’s a known fact various drug dealers have had topless women packaging narcotics to cut down on theft.
Filmmakers that depict that type of situation in their movies are only being honest about the story being told. In a watered-down version a scene like that would be not shown or so toned down as to show no nudity. An authentic urban crime movie cannot be PG-13.
