Movies

Rags and Old Love
Director
An experimental film about two women--one urban, another rural. They appear watching from windows, going about their daily tasks. Both are waiting, for what?
Brick by Brick
Cinematography
A prescient portrait of late-1970s Washington, D.C., that chronicles the city's creeping gentrification, the systematic expulsion of poor Black residents, and the community response in the form of the Seaton Street Project, in which tenants banded together to purchase buildings.
