"The night is beautiful,
So the faces of my people.
The stars are beautiful,
So the eyes of my people.
Beautiful, also, is the sun.
Beautiful, also, are the souls of my people."
- My People by Langston Hughes
A lot can happen in one night, and this film block captures that unique but adrenaline-filled whirlwind of emotion and experience. From meeting your girlfriend’s family for the first time to confronting past relationships or celebrating your 25th birthday with a male sex worker you met that night, these stories unfold within the span of just one night, showcasing the transformative moments that can change everything that seem to uniquely happen only at night. Maybe you’re having one of those nights yourself right now. Click above to order your viewing ticket.
Tired of being overlooked all her life, WAKS, a snarky, religious country girl—whose inner voice reminds her everyday just how fat she is and my goodness no wonder she is still a virgin (!)—hires a male sex worker to deflower her on the night of her 25th birthday.
