CHOSEN

In 2020, five Korean Americans of vastly diverse backgrounds with competing political views run for US Congress. David Kim is the only underdog with limited resources vying to be the first Korean American representative in Koreatown.

FOLLOW HER

A woman depends on the videos she makes for the social media and the quantity of her followers. One day, she is invited to help finish the writing of a screenplay which makes her travel to a remote, isolated place where Tom lives. A profound and original reflection on privacy and modern times in a thriller that casts a rather disturbing and fresh and original look at a very current issue. First fiction feature by this American director.

GOOD EGG

A high school drama teacher, after failed attempts at Invitro Fertilization to conceive a child, is forced to consider an unconventional egg donor scenario that plunges her into a dangerous and exhilarating adventure with her husband.

The Inheritance

Based on real events, the film’s protagonist inherits a house in West Philadelphia that becomes home to an urban collective for activists of color. The increasingly claustrophobic drama unfolds as the group attempts to live together and find consensus through Black political discourse and social philosophy.

OUTTA THE MUCK

An astounding and intimate narrative of Black achievement focusing on the self-determined Dean family, seven generations of their history, and the resilient community of rural Pahokee, Florida.

WITNESS

An Albany, NY Imam, and a pizza shop owner, become the focus of an FBI sting. A convicted felon is sent to entrap the Imam by tricking him into serving as witness to a money laundering scheme which they connect to a fake terror plot.
