About me: A quote from the film maker, Pelu:
"I look at Baltimore Lov Thing as an extension of what David Simon started with shows like The Corner, and The Wire. These are shows that really captured the Baltimore experience - and I love the work. The Wire in particular. I spent some long hours on the set of that show, and every check cleared, so Dave is alright with me. I want that clear. But what happens is, you take shows like that, which are based on real life happenings in our city, and present them to the public as fiction. The Corner was based on the life of DeAndre McCullough, who is in my documentary. Everyone in B-More knows The Wire's stories come from our local history. So what happens is these shows take our reality, and fictionalize it, and it's absorbed by the viewing public as fiction. The viewing public sees it as a good story, instead of what it really is, and that's a crisis. So what I wanted to do with this documentary is present the same type of stories, the same type of hardship and let the people who see it know that the conditions are real, the personas are real; these aren't SAG members. These crackheads don't win awards; the 12 year olds with AK-47's don't have managers or publicists; and the hungry children with parents addicted to heroine or what have you - these aren't actors. When the cameras stop rolling, these people don't hop in a Benz and head back to New York. It is what it is, and hopefully this documentary will set off some alarms. That's what I want this documentary to do: set off alarms. So the American public can go from being entertained by our every day existence, and start asking what can we do to better the situation. That's the film I shot. Hopefully that's the film you see."
