A Dream For Sale

A scientist invents a machine that can record dreams. As she looks outward at the universe for answers, she discovers that her answers lie within herself. Isn't every movie a dream for sale tho?


Rejoice Resist

Rejoice Resist is a film that celebrates and shows Black Joy and Black pleasure as the ultimate form of resistance. It highlights the importance of allowing yourself to feel joy especially in the face of adversity.

The film, surreal and lighthearted despite its powerful themes, depicts a woman on a quest to discover this truth.


Such An Honor

 Set in the year 2050, SUCH AN HONOR is a short sci-fi film about an aging actress who is pressured to upgrade into a synthetic body. It’s all about growing old gracefully and who gets to choose what women do with our bodies



Roundtable

This short film talks about the state of affairs within the black community in a comical and satirical way. This short will touch on many different issues within the black community. Imagine having an elected official for each of the different stereotypical images faced within the black community, and then that same community coming together in a secret meeting to discuss, debate, develop solutions to move forward as a whole. This film should not only make you laugh, but also help you to see the hidden message in each conversation.


Silent Partner

Hank’s Family is missing and he’s not talking. Two detectives are hot on the case but have nothing to go with. Can they solve the case before it goes cold?


All The Smoke

White Tears

Based on a true story, WHITE TEARS is a surreal dark comedy and adventure-fantasy. Our victim and hopeful hero, Cedric, has a seemingly casual romantic rendezvous with a woman he met while traveling. Shortly after their meetup, the woman’s White Tears send Cedric’s whole being and world into a state of horror! He eventually snaps out of his shock and into an epiphany that sets him on a quest he masterminds to cure and unburden his people of the White Tears Epidemic™️, otherwise known as white liberal guilt. Cedric might not save the world, but he damn well tries by bending science as we know it and defies the dangers of White Tears Radiation™️. Can White Tears be eradicated? Cedric thinks he’s the one for the job, and the idea of a world full of black love, joy and uninterrupted Black excellence sees him through to the final destination.
