Flavored with magical realism and framed in vignettes that range from unflinching candor to whimsical history, The Beacon From Belle Isle's search for a metaphorical lighthouse drives an exploration of Michigan's growth, decline, and search for a new collective direction.

The Beacon From Belle Isle Reviews
| Twin Cities Daily Planet - Recommended
"...Everyone does a great job in this vignette but the real standout in the group is Mikell Sapp as Leon. As a singer overshadowed by someone else's talent, and whose fate lies uncomfortably in the hands of fellow singer Levi (Darrick Mosley) and the studio engineer (Joseph Miller) who are handling the business end of things, Leon's anger is often volcanic. Leon also wields humor and silence as weapons to get his point across, and to prod people into doing something he wants or is tired of waiting for."
