Zebrahead is a 1992 American romantic drama film produced by Oliver Stone, written and directed by Anthony Drazan and starring Michael Rapaport and N'Bushe Wright.
Eighteen-year-old white Jewish DJ and rapper Zack lives with his single father, who runs a record store.
Zack confides in Dee that he is attracted to Nikki, but is scared to proceed as a white man to a black woman.
Zack brings his turntable set to the school gymnasium and starts to DJ urban music.
Nut and other black classmates tell Nikki to stay away from Zack, and that he had been playing a sick game with her.
[3] At the 1992 Sundance Film Festival, director Anthony Drazan won the Filmmaker Trophy and nominated for the Grand Jury Prize.
At the 1992 Locarno Film Festival, Drazan won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and was nominated for the Golden Leopard.
Rapaport and Mahal were nominated at the 1993 Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead and Best Original Song.
The strength of the central story is undermined by loose ends and subplots that are hinted at but never developed, and watching the film is a little like solving a puzzle.
