DVD Synopsis
Bermuda-born Alison Swan, a NY documentary filmmaker, made her dramatic feature directorial debut with this comedy-drama, a low-budget look at racial identities. With divorced parents (white attorney father and black mother), Nia (Karyn Parsons) grew up in Westchester Country. Employed as an upwardly mobile advertising copywriter, she hangs out with both black and white friends. Irritated by an ad campaign to spur ghetto blacks to consume alcohol, she quits her job with plans to write a book. Stirring the racial mix, she sets out to find her own identity. Shown at the 1998 New York Women's Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
A woman searches for her personal and racial identity in this drama, which has been given a reasonable presentation for its release on DVD. Mixing Nia has been given a full-frame transfer to disc at the aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Surround. The dialogue is in English, with no multiple-language options included. As a bonus, this edition features an optional commentary track from writer/director Alison Swan, as well as the film's original trailer. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
