The Gift is a narrative short I created with Milan Joshua Hawthorne for a series, Indigo Prophecies, an urban Twilight Zone. The Gift is a story about mental health in the Black community during the #BlackLivesMatter movement and it is rooted in African spiritual traditions.

“The Gift” is a short film about Kamau who is struggling to keep a hold on reality while his Oakland, CA community is being terrorized by killer cops. Haunted by visions of a young boy, Kamau must find out if he is being confronted by his sanity, the ancestors, or a powerful premonition.
