Jade written by Kyra Jones and directed by Reshmi Hazra Rustebakke
Produced by Aimy Tien and Angellic Ross
When Jade 'clashes' (read: is on the receiving end of racist behavior) with yet another teacher, her high school guidance counselor demands that she see the new school therapist. Having had terrible experiences in the past, she is very skeptical, even with her big brother's words of encouragement. Armed with his support, she walks into the session to find out if anyone at this school could ever understand her.
A short film by tinheart productions developed in collaboration with the Center for Child Trauma Assessment, Services and Systems Interventions (CCTASSI) at Northwestern University.
Go to the Body written and directed by Kyra Jones
Produced by Angellic Ross, Aimy Tien, and Taylor Wisham
After Sanaa, a rising racial justice organizer, is sexually assaulted by a fellow activist, she tries to push past her trauma and return to her normal life. The only thing standing in the way is her fiancé, Kendrick, an overprotective boxer who has his own idea of justice.
This film asks the question, “What do we mean when we say ‘Protect Black Women?’” and what happens when physical protection isn’t enough?
Feature film coming soon.
