"So seductive…so sexy…so dangerous," teases the trailer for the film. "Crazy Like a Fox" is a romantic thriller set in modern-day New York City. Fershgenet stars as Angelique Dubois, a stunning, young former model from Paris whose marriage to a middle-aged Harlem-based psychiatrist (David Tawil) turns into a web of deceit when she becomes entangled with their young and dashing African chauffer, Michael Bako (Karibi Fubara). Passions ignite and emotions flare, resulting in a brutal murder in this classic, suspense-packed thriller.
Written, produced and directed by Tony Abulu, "Crazy Like a Fox" is Abulu's third feature film. His debut film, ''Back to Africa,'' screened to a sold-out audience at the 1998 Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles and was again well received during its 10th Anniversary screening at this year's Newark Black Film Festival. Abulu acknowledges ABFF's selection of "Crazy Like a Fox" as a testimony to the artistic quality and inexhaustible creativity of the contemporary African artist. "The ABFF is one of the most influential Black film festivals in the world, and we're honored that our film was selected for screening," he shares. "We know that it will give the film the opportunity for mainstream U.S. distribution."
Founded in 1997, ABFF is the premiere international marketplace for films that showcase the best new work by and about people of African descent. The festival's mission is to strengthen the Black filmmaking community through resource sharing, education, artistic collaboration and career development. The ABFF was born out of the need to spearhead distribution opportunities for independent Black films and promote cultural diversity within the motion picture industry, and the festival continues to bring the best emerging Black filmmakers to the forefront.
