As both a filmmaker and architect, I’m drawn to stories that explore the intersection of space, memory, and identity. 15 Lines grew from my reflections on how the places we inhabit shape our sense of self and belonging. Inspired by the gaps in many African American family histories, the film imagines what it might mean to uncover a deeper legacy—one that redefines the present. It’s a story about ambition, inheritance, and the quiet courage it takes to choose one’s own path.
