17yr old, Shayvon Mitchell is predisposed to a generational curse. At a critical time in her life, she must decide between becoming a statistic or believing in her own magic.


Generational Curse was inspired by my truth. A glimpse into Shayvon Mitchell’s world illustrates how each generation is affected by another and how curses dynamically weigh on one’s life. She watches her mother battle with the scars that define love. She becomes overwhelmed with her Nana’s drug habit. These generational curses create deep rooted oblivion that cause friction between reality and hope. This film creates a simple lens with hard truths that resonate with those choosing to break generational chains.
