Since Joy Road is the northern boundary of the Warrendale neighborhood, I was intrigued to find out that there is a new movie debuting soon entitled Joy Road.
Joy Road is set in modern day Detroit. Most of the locations for the film were on location here in Detroit. This movie tells the story of a public defender who has to defend his sister's boyfriend, the reputed leader of the notorious MVP gang.
This movie is just something for Detroit. It has a national audience having been named "Best Narrative Film" at the Hamptons Black International Film Festival. It was also an official selection at the American Black Film Festival and the Urban Mediamakers Film Festival.
Personally, I think it's great some artists from Detroit have managed to complete a project like this. I'm excited to see what happens with it, how Joy Road will be received by audiences and critics, and how far they will be able to go with this.
Most of all, I hope that the filmmakers will be able to make a sequence or a television series for Joy Road. I wish everyone who is involved in this project nothing but the best.

The official trailer for this film is on YouTube and is embedded above. The filmmakers also have a Facebook page for their project here. Joy Road will premiere at the AMC Star Southfield (25333 West 12 Mile Rd. in Southfield) on October 20. I hope to see a lot of neighbors and friends at the theater.
