We have always felt that our community is stronger together and we strive to support all of the members of our community. To this standard we are happy to present this series of short films highlighting the efforts of those Black and Queer content creators both behind and in front of the camera. Ensuring that the community is represented is an important step and ensures that the next generation will see more and more people like them seen, heard and standing up proud.

Alex, a young artist of the Harlem Renaissance, flirts with the idea of bisexuality through posturing and conversations he has with his girlfriend, Melva, and his Bohemian mentor, Raymond.

The music of a concert performance breaks the floodgates of Alex's desires, and he finds himself torn between Melva and Beauty. Which one will he choose?&nbsp;Based on a short story by&nbsp;Robert Bruce Nugent, shockingly penned in 1926, with narration by Billy Porter,&nbsp;Smoke, Lilies and Jade&nbsp;is a beauty to behold.
