FIRST LOOK: Poster for Journalist Neil Drumming's SLAMdance Feature Big Words

It makes a lot of sense for the feature-length debut of a veteran journalist to be titled Big Words. World premiering Friday night at the 2013 SLAMdance Film Festival, the drama is the work of Neil Drumming, formerly a staff writer at Entertainment Weekly (2002-2007) and currently a freelancer for such publications as Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair and Vibe. The movie tells the story of three former hip-hop group pals struggling with their feelings on the night of President Obama’s election in 2008.

Drumming blogged about the making of his film for The Atlantic.
