ILLVILLE – WHEN SILENCE ISN’T AN OPTION. Ausar Moore’s ‘Illville’ confronts police brutality head-on—a 45-minute dramatic satire about a family’s vengeance after losing their son. Festival-acclaimed and now streaming on Tubi, Prime, and Apple TV.
In a time when hashtags become headstones and body cam footage loops endlessly without justice, Mr. Moore channeled rage into revolution. “Illville” emerged not from a desire to create, but from a NEED to speak—45 minutes of dramatic satire that refuses to let America look away from its mirror.
The premise cuts deep: an African American teenager killed unjustly by police, a family that chooses vengeance over vigils. This isn’t comfortable viewing—it’s prophecy dressed as fiction. What happens when a community loses faith in justice? What grows in the soil where hope used to live? Mr. Moore wore every hat—producer, director, writer, actor, editor—because this story couldn’t wait for permission or committee approval. Independent creation for an independently dangerous truth.
The festival circuit recognized what audiences on Tubi, Prime Video, and Apple TV are now discovering: sometimes satire says what straight drama can’t. “Illville” doesn’t just document the pattern of violence; it projects the trajectory. If this is where we are, where are we heading? The film asks questions America doesn’t want to answer, then provides one possible future nobody wants to see.
Critical acclaim came not for playing it safe, but for playing it real. Moore Flicks proves that empire isn’t just built on entertainment—it’s built on truth that entertainment can finally make digestible.
Now streaming on Tubi, Prime Video, and Apple TV.
