Adiyah Grace written and directed by Brenda J. Williams
Short film navigating the discussion of Black Lives Matter discussed in the workplace. The workplace setting is a hospital, a place where LIFE most certainly matters. Dr. Parks, an African American female lead obstetrician, has to balance restraint and stick to the conduct code as she tackles the discussion of Black Lives Matter after a co-worker expresses both her frustration and exhaustion for the movement. With controversial and raw discussion this film examines the harsh realities of race in America while also addressing the racial disparities in maternal infant mortality rate for African American women.
Toni. Mamie. Connie written, directed, and produced by Ashleigh B. Curry
Short film centered around three African American women in the 1950s as they play their last game with their baseball team. It shows their trials and tribulations as they become front runners in a game that has no place for them. It goes from their childhoods to where they are now.
