Nudity, Sex And Graphic Content In American Cinema
The film Consignment (Slice of Americana Films) was my take on New Jack City (The Jackson/McHenry Company) produced on a independent budget. After finishing the script I had two choices as a filmmaker. Water down a gritty story inspired by true events to fit a PG-13 audience or deal with showing strong subject matter including nudity and simulated sex. After some soul searching I knew it would be impossible for this movie to resonate with any true realism going the PG-13 route.
In order to give movie viewers an honest portrayal of characters involved in illicit drug deals, street violence, and the fast life some creative elements would have to be uncensored. This script wasn’t written to be produced as a feel good family movie. Consignment was inspired by true events that were not clean and proper.
