A Love Supreme for the modern movement. Celebrating multiplicity, “Ghetto Gospel: The Experience” holds many things at once. The visuals of this short film EP mirror its various musical influences, taking the viewer on an odyssey through space and time, examining and celebrating the collective memory and experiences of queerness and Blackness. The short film is a four-part sermon, ushering you through its elements: “Babylon,” “Know Yourself,” “Non-Binary,” and “I Am OK.”
Shooting is scheduled to begin Spring 2024.
