We’re thrilled to announce that Today in the Hood, the latest experimental art film by Dan Joyce, has officially been submitted to the Sunset Film Festival!
This isn’t just a movie—it’s a raw, unapologetic portrait of urban life, captured through the lens of someone who’s lived it, breathed it, and painted it in words and pictures. With a background in graphic design, illustration, and mental health advocacy, Dan Joyce brings his unique voice to the screen in a way that defies categories.
🖼️ Today in the Hood isn’t your typical narrative film. It’s a visual poem. A collision of street realism and surrealist expression. Think documentary meets hallucination, where the lines blur between fact and feeling, voice and vision. Each frame is its own work of art, and every moment has something to say about survival, identity, and the beauty found in chaos.
🌇 Shot on location in Southern California, the film captures the heart of the hood, where community, madness, creativity, and struggle all intersect. Featuring original writing, voiceover, and art from Dan Joyce, the project is both intensely personal and universally human.
Why the Sunset Film Festival? Because this festival celebrates independent spirit, creative risk, and the kind of storytelling that challenges the mainstream. Just like Today in the Hood.
Stay tuned for updates on the submission process, screening info, and behind-the-scenes content. Whether or not it wins, this film is already a victory for self-expression and a bold step in Dan Joyce’s ever-evolving creative journey.
And remember:
"Streetwise and psychotic — art doesn’t ask for permission. It just breaks in."
Thanks for supporting true indie filmmaking.
