Already unlocked? for access

Drawing deeply from their Southern landscapes, these short narrative films each touch upon unique elements of the Southern Gothic genre. Whether through supernatural tenors in rural churches, to improbable encounters with those who have long passed, these characters’ grappling with isolation, wildness, or rural histories are central elements to their stories. 

In 1968 rural Louisiana, a young activist must finish her speech and prepare the perfect roux before leaving for her first protest, but she gets a supernatural interruption.
