In The Seats With... Saul Williams and 'Akilla's Escape'

Sometimes you've gotta pull double duty for your art... In a crime-noir about the urban child-soldier, Akilla Brown (Saul Williams) captures a fifteen-year-old Jamaican boy in the aftermath of an armed robbery. Over one gruelling night, Akilla confronts a cycle of generational violence he thought he escaped. With 'Akilla's Escape' not only did star Saul Williams deliver a powerhouse performance in the title role, but in what might actually be a first he actually did the score for the entire film as well. We had the distinct pleasure to sit with him and discuss not only his role in the film but the unique nature of being a multidimensional artist in this day and age.
