“Can’t Wear A Wig Forever” by my hommie Victorious De Costa.  This is a documentary I look forward to showing this year at the East New York Film Festival.  A real Brooklyn born and bred artist.  

Out of work, out of benefits and almost out of hope, a young woman recants her journey which begins with the promises of education and ends with the changing of her self in a personal way. The trauma of unemployment leads to Karimah's undecided, yet conversation worthy, concerns about gender inequality in the workplace and prejudicial hiring practices. Can't Wear A Wig Forever is beyond all, an acknowledgement of the long lasting effects of 'The Great Recession" even in a time when Americans are told everything is back to normal.

Directed by Danielle Paulet. The Storyteller is “A magical storytelling deer finds himself in an encroaching city where distracted people don't seem to be interested in his magic or his stories.
