Congratulations 2026 DBFF Best College Short Winner "Way Back Home" Directed by Chad Hamilton

This is a boy's adventure. Dion "Juvey-D" Jackson is a 14-year-old Brooklynite who sneaks his father's video camera out into the streets to record his antics with his best friend Antman. It is 1992, a transitional period in Fort Greene, a neighborhood at the time considered the Black Boeheim of art and culture, as well as a community on the verge of gentrification. The film is largely seen from Dion's POV, consisting of awkward camerawork. But what comes into focus are snatches of the moments that hold value to him. His story is led not only by his lens, but by his heart, and wherever it takes him.
