Neegro's: An Explanation
Made for the 2016 Sundance x YouTube New Voices application, this video served as my pitch to make it to the next (3rd) round. I was able to get to the phone call portion which was the final round before the last decisions were made. Ultimately, I wasn’t chosen.

And What Happened After That?
And What Happened After That? is a short film that captures the everyday struggles of youth at a New Orleans high school as they sort through their sexual and emotional health, identities, safety and the possibility of new love. The narrative is told through a series of five short episodes that can also be combined to create a full short film. The first four chapters reflect the four pillars of Catapult, IWES’ positive youth development (PYD) hub - Act (social justice), Educate (comprehensive sexual health), Feel (emotional health), and Grow (PYD and goal-setting) - while the fifth vignette ties the story together. And What Happened After That? is designed to complement IWES’ PYD programming by showing how the Catapult pillars impact healthy relationships and decision-making.
