Welcome to My Hood Film

Lifetime residents of the Bronx section of NYC, Marvin Lattimore and Oniyide Francis, have realized that with growing up in the hood comes watching films involving it. They also found out that there are people that have neither grown up in the hood or seen a film for the hood. So Marvin and Oniyide made it their mission to find different people, watch hood films past and present, and get their reactions and opinions about them. Welcome...to our Hood Films!!!

The Grinch that Stole B****es! A hood Dr. Seuss Adaptation.
