Our Reality by Zenzelé Moore-Ysaguirre, United States

The unfortunate killing of a young black teen at the hands of the LAPD in the San Fernando Valley haunts a college-bound young man as he and his friends spend their last night together before going away to school.

Our Reality received the $5,000.00 Scout Film Festival Emerging Filmmakers Grant in the 18 and Under age category, in 2020, and screened during Scout Winter Fest in February of 2021. The $10,000.00 Grant, split between two age categories - 18 and Under and 19 to 24 - is sponsored by the American director and screenwriter, Colin Trevorrow, known for the indie film Safety Not Guaranteed (2012), and the blockbuster hit series, Jurassic World.
