Spike is truly one of the godfathers of independent filmmaking, and &#8216;Red Hook Summer&#8217; is an entertaining, yet thoughtful, film that says something we think needs to be said.  We couldn\u2019t be more excited to work with Spike and his team to ensure that audiences across the country will be experiencing this fantastic film with their friends and family.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Red Hook Summer,&#8221; the latest in Lee&#8217;s Chronicles of Brooklyn (&#8220;She&#8217;s Gotta Have It,&#8221; &#8220;Do The Right Thing,&#8221; &#8220;Crooklyn,&#8221; &#8220;Clockers&#8221; and &#8220;He Got Game&#8221;) is a story about a boy who comes from Atlanta to live with his religious grandfather in Brooklyn:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Red Hook Summer&#8221; tells the story of Flik Royale, a sullen young boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer with his deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse, in the housing projects of Red Hook.  Having never met before, things quickly get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ.  Between his grandfather\u2019s constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city life, Flik\u2019s summer appears to be a total disaster&#8211;until he meets Chazz Morningstar, a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of Brooklyn.  Through her love and the love of his grandfather, Flik begins to realize that the world is a lot bigger, and perhaps a lot better, than he\u2019d ever imagined.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can learn more about the film at the film&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redhooksummer.com\/\">official site.<\/a> What do you think about &#8220;Red Hook Summer&#8221;?
