While we love all creative mediums, seeing something go from stage play to film allows the director to flex their creative muscle even more.

After watching last week during a private screening, we noticed the cinematography moments that took us back to a cult classic action film that integrated a western style. What .harris has accomplished in her directorial debut is beyond phenomenal, itā€™s transcendent. This telling of twins is like no other and we canā€™t wait for our community to see it!

Black women, being expressive hasnā€™t always felt comfortable nor safe. But thatā€™s changing. Youā€™re allowed to have many emotions and to express them: rage, betrayal, grief, annoyance, frustrationā€¦

None of these have to define you. We can be multifaceted and dynamic, which is depicted by Writer and Director, Aleshea Harris in her latest film .
