Grace: Scout Film Festival Emerging Filmmakers Grant
Summary
I'm beyond thrilled to have received support on my upcoming short film "Grace" from The Scout Film Festival's Emerging Filmmakers Grant in partnership with Colin Trevorrow and Visura!
Grace is a dramatic Black Southern Gothic and queer short film set in the 1950s that explores the conflicts that religious traditions and rites of passage often present in relation to identity formation. It’s a film about faith, hot combs, peach picking, and summer love. It rewrites and rights the history validating that Queer Black women have always been here; thriving, existing, and being.
