SYNOPSIS
After legalizing “Peer Consumption” in a vampiric world; near-utopian governance is quickly overshadowed by a truly predatory housing market. Desperate to pay rent, or risk being eaten alive, Willow, a brooding elected observer of alt-worlds & timelines, searches for solutions.

DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Though a standalone short film, “Willow,” also lays the groundwork for an Afrofuturist TV series that wields the non-linear nature of time & alt-world travel as a vehicle to examine the ways in which sociopolitical events of the past can impact the present and future.

Through MAAF’s support, this project is being screened w/ Q & A discussions in New York, starting with Nuyorican Poets Cafe (236 East 3rd St, New York, NY 10009) on October 22nd @ 4-6pm.

This project is made possible, in part, with funds from the Media Arts Assistance Fund, a regrant partnership of NYSCA and Wave Farm, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
