Matt Cassidy, Indie Eye Film Festival

The Woolfman was inspired by the words of American filmmaker Spike Lee on BBC TV and wrote the song in a dream. Driven by the wish to “Heal the Soul of America” the songwriter and producer collaborated with one of the UK’s leading independent filmmakers Tone Davies to make a music video for release during lockdown 2021. Shot in the UK on mobile phones the global pandemic has helped shape this video. It has gone on to catch  the eyes and ears of music lovers the world over. At this time in history the message embedded in ‘Make America Love Again’ is more poignant than ever. 

“Sometimes it’s the simplest of words and expressions that can resonate deeply within someone…”

Capetown- born, The Woolfman left South Africa for the last time at the age of 16 repelled by the inequities of the apartheid system which were in full force at the time. Since then, he has been a vocal and active opponent of racism and all forms of injustice. This has been a consistent theme in his songwriting. In 2018 he watched director Spike Lee being interviewed on BBC television saying : “We only have to make America Love again…”. This sentiment reminded him that what happens in America can often have an effect around the world. That same night, a tune came to him… the lyrics emerged all at once, as if from outside himself and a new American anthem was created. 

“Director Tone Davies utilizes this old adage perfectly, by forgoing the bells and whistles of big shiny sets, decorative costumes, and stunning visual effects. Instead choosing to focus on what is really important to the world right now.”

The Woolfman collaborated with singers Sparkles & Francesca Confortini on the original ‘gospel’ version of the track, which is fast becoming a new American Anthem, they also feature on the remixes along with the amazing Martha Lewis.

The Woolfman acknowledges: “Obama once said ‘Do we care to match the reality of America to its ideals? I am not yet ready to abandon the possibility of America.’ This is the message of  ‘Make America Love Again’ – the possibility of America as a beacon of democracy, hope and justice, leading the way in an increasingly turbulent and unpredictable world.”

The story of David and Goliath is often misinterpreted, it is interpreted as the underdog winning against overwhelming force. Well actually David had a lot going for him. The slingshot was the latest technology, a devastating and accurate weapon. David was flexible, could move around and be creative. Goliath on the other hand was excessively tall, maybe had double vision and was weighed down by heavy armour. He was stuck in an old way of fighting and he needed David within sword range. NO WAY David was falling for that!

The moral of the story is that the new, the creative and the bold can win. Flexible creative thought, new ideas and a willingness to experiment can win out against brute force and apparently immovable objects. Remember the fall of the Soviet Union? Marcos? Franco? Dictatorships – cultural and political do end. We can and must question and re-evaluate old ideas. This does not mean automatic rejection of the old – thats’ kids stuff! – but reminding ourselves how they were reached and asking if they still have value. WE have reached the finals of #vegasmovieawards against the odds. We can hit the sweet spot and win!!
