Tomato Records: Unraveling Inner Confidence in the Rap Scene

By Alex Silverman

In the underground music scene, Hector Dravid (who goes by Yung Elder the Rapper) is in a slump after his latest album flopped. To make matters worse, he fears his life is in danger as a country singer/assassin is out to get him. It isn’t until he meets a freelance secret agent who tells him to get over his paranoia that he can live peacefully again. 

The Bomar Brothers, Dean Lee Bomar and Grant Lee Bomar, have been making films since the ages of 10 and 8. Grant has matured as a director through a series of unique indie projects supported by Dean’s imaginative cinematography. Tomato Records is directed by Grant and co-written by both Dean and Grant.  The film has a surreal and fantastical feel to it, overall resulting in an imaginative piece about finding inner confidence and identity.

I give this film 3 out of 5 stars.
