By Tonisha Johnson

 

Filmed in 1998 Spark stars Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard and Nicole Ari Parker as a young couple headed to Los Angeles. Nina (Parker) is leaving the Chicago neighborhood to go to college while faithful love interest Byron (Howard) drives her to prolong her goodbye. As curiosity has it Byron exits the highway at Nina’s request to do some site-seeing but an accident with a roaming dog leaves their car in distress and disserted along a dismal highway hoping to be rescued. The town’s people aren’t fond of the two strangers but both befriend the tow-truck assistant Mooney (Brendan Sexton III) who’s having a bit of trouble dealing with the sudden death of his mother.  

After discovering that the two would-be travelers have killed his only furry friend Mooney loses his composure and plots revenge.

Spark DVD debuts as the first title from the Warner Home Video’s ‘ABFF: American Black-Film Festival’ DVD series label from its partnership with Film Life Inc, and independent company recognized a the leading showcase of contemporary Black and Urban films.
