It’s Getting Bad Again
Directed by Sarah Reyes (USA, 2021, 4 min.)
It's Getting Bad Again follows the life of a young woman as she unconventionally navigates her worsening mental health in the wake of a depressive episode.
Crush(ed)
Directed by Amanda Gordon (USA, 2022, 7 min.)
Crush(ed) is a charmingly awkward coming-of-age story about transformation, identity, and the woes of having an unreciprocated middle school crush. After the last day of 7th grade, Maya straightens her natural hair in an attempt to get her childhood best friend, Will, to like her.
Senseless Smoke
Directed by Robert Bird Bridgeman (USA 2021, 74 min.)
Two rival gangs are at odds in the City of Boston. When summer arrives, violence in an inner city community heats up. Trey and Toni were siblings who had each other. When Trey loses Toni to Senseless gun violence, traumatized, he is forced to navigate his way through the community wondering who killed his sister. Who can he trust? Is he safe? He is on a journey of a lifetime and the youth and adults he crosses on his road to healing show him where his final destination needs to be.
With a live Q&A with Teen Empowerment.
