DETROIT — When he was in his 20s, Qasim Basir was running around Detroit making movies and selling them at local liquor stores.
Now in his 40s, Basir is still running around Detroit making movies, but he's selling them at Sundance instead.
Basir, who grew up in Ann Arbor and Detroit, is headed to this week's Sundance Film Festival with his latest film, the Detroit-shot "To Live and Die and Live." The film premieres Friday at the festival, America's largest showcase for independent film, and will be available to be seen by those not making the trek to Park City, Utah, as part of the festival's online component.
