SYNOPSIS
“The Remedy” profiles two New Jersey based hip-hop artists, Freddy Salgado (Face Cadet), a self taught musician and Ecuadorean immigrant, and Serenity AKATDB, a queer African-American woman who’s carved a career in a male-dominated genre while battling lupus and a turbulent family history.
Boris Tsessarsky
A native New Yorker who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, Boris Tsessarsky, a Russian immigrant, was deeply immersed in hip-hop music and culture. For years, he wrote and published short stories about life in New York City. After receiving an MFA from Sarah Lawrence College, Boris wrote and directed his first film--the award-winning documentary "King's Highway: The Story of Malcolm Fairfield" (2016), about a young actor who tragically passes away in 1971, but whose "spirit" lives on. In 2018, Boris founded--along with PaulA Neves--Parkway North Productions, directing and co-producing the hip-hop documentary "The Remedy" (2021), which premiered at the 2021 Philadelphia Independent Film Festival.
