a place in the sun, video (15:58 runtime) 2024 is a visual poem that explores how Black people find their way to joy and emotional wellbeing through poetry, archival video, music, found clips, family interviews, and stylized surrealist scenes. The past three years have stretched the collective emotional, spiritual and physical capacities for Black people in this country, and I thought about how vital it is for us to seek joy and healing. I personally have experienced so much and I wrote the film to delve deeper into this. a place in the sun is the representation of that.
