300 hours is an Award-winning vertical short film
Inspired by hip-hop and trap music, 300 hours is a vertical short film directed, shot, and edited by 3 young black men from brooklyn, new york. This creative expression is made by and for black youth at the center of the ongoing art movement taking place in new york city.
300 hours is set in binghamton, new york within the multi studios apartment shared by robert provilus and jabari brxwne. the film follows robert through his tentative journey as he constructs and completes 3 masterful paintings- whilst being filmed by two close friends. 300 hours features 3 different visual mediums (super 8mm, VHS & digital) and is a culmination of an entire year's worth of footage (july 2021- september 2022). Due to the fact that robert and jabari were both college students during the filming process, nicolas johnson (a.k.a wonder) would regularly make a 3-hour commute from brooklyn to binghamton during school breaks and weekends to film.
The soundtrack for 300 hours exclusively features music from young “up and coming” black artists. each song has been carefully chosen to embody a unique section of the film. The film also debuts an original score composed by the brooklyn based producer bountyhunter. the directors of the film made a conscious effort to heavily include local artists in order to uplift the black creatives within their own community.
