After a failed attempt at “making it,” jaded artist Lei [Lee] returns home to a dead end job and deepening depression.

A young woman terrified of the dark discovers a supernatural game that can cure her fears, if she faces them first. Student Produced Films
AND
LUCY
Directed by Foley Ellis Ibidapo (US 2020 13:17)
Lucy is a coming of age story about an exceptional deaf girl named Lucy, who struggles to navigate the more grown-up issues of self-love while coming to grips with her own special abilities. Note: The film is heavy in sound design, as it helps move the story. We recommend viewing it with quality headphones or stereo speakers with excellent bass.
Come On In preceded by a performance by Castle of our Skins.
Born out of the desire to foster cultural curiosity, Castle of our Skins is a concert and educational series dedicated to celebrating Black artistry through music.
