R-E-S-P-E-K

A couple months back, I had a flood of creative inspiration and came up with concepts for four different short films. Two of them, I crafted to use in my exhibit scheduled for next summer, "My Bae: America" (stay tuned). The other two were purely for the sake of creation; I had the idea, the connections, and the cash to get them started, so I did. I've already told about one, which you can find the accompanying photo series for here. Here's the one I've kept under wraps!

Introducing "Respek"- a short film about the fallacies of respectability politics. (For all those who keep up with rap drama, yes the spelling is a reference to Birdman.) This film, like many of my works, was inspired from a poem, and will have a poetic short feel to it. Check out the concept draft from my fantastic illustrator below!
