NEWS -- I am happy to share that the narrative short film, “Crumbs” that I co-wrote, produced and starred in was accepted and screened at the Big Apple Film Festival in NYC from November 18th-21st. Inspired by the many young black boys and girls who are victims of police violence, the film is about an interracial couple grappling with the trauma of police violence. More updates coming soon on where to see the film and any other festival announcements. Until then, thank you to everyone who supported our project!! This is the first film I co-wrote and I am looking forward to expanding and exploring my artistic voice as a storyteller in 2020 on new projects.
