Mark’s sermon-style delivery is bound to absorb and entice the viewer, as evident with the transfixed seated audience. Aside from the poet’s linguistic excellence, the film pays homage to the Kelly Strayhorn Theatre itself – a venue that celebrates the work of emerging talent and progressivism. The poet, who was born and raised in Atlanta – now living in Baltimore, observes society, his personal woes and his pathway from childhood. This review is careful not to divulge too much of Mark’s poetic verses – as a charming element of this film is the unforeseen context, the poet’s conveyance and his craftsmanship.
Technically, the production is modestly constructed in an effort to grasp the poet’s every word. A gentle musical soundtrack is utilized to aid the verbal medium. Sound and post-production is equally commendable. The audience will find ‘Folded Whispers’ deeply spiritual, reflective and sporadically poignant. Highly recommended viewing.
