Win a copy of Medicine For Melancholy from Reelblack

Reelblack is offering up two copies of Medicine for Melancholy, starring Crit Mass crush Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show) and Tracey Heggins. It played at the 2008 Philadelphia Film Fest, but never got the theatrical release treatment around these parts. I missed it then but I heard some great things; it's holding strong with an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it took home Best First Feature at the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards.

Medicine is about two African-American twenty-somethings, living in San Francisco, the day after their one night stand. Here's the trailer:

Reelblack will announce the winners of the contest around Christmas time but you can also try your luck at their upcoming Next Up Short Film Showcase ' a program comprised of the work of filmmakers of color, including a screening of the locally shot Brothers, Incorporated ' on Tuesday, December 8 where they'll give away another copy.

Hey, pick me! Pick me!

Next Up Short Film Showcase, Tue., Dec. 8, 7 p.m., $5-$8, International House, 3701 Chestnut St., 215-387-5125.
