The safety of unarmed African American people is constantly in question, and an answer must come now. One of the most overlooked questions is one of the most painful: What happens to the women in the wake of these unarmed murders?

Story
Mission Statement
This story would not exist and could not be told without the experiences of women and people of color, thus we are excited and committed to bringing in a cast and crew that are both gender and ethnically diverse.About The Project
WE MADE IT!
Thanks to your incredible love and support, we were able to reach our goal for the production of this film. We appreciate every single follow, pledge, and share from the bottom of our hearts. We are looking forward to sharing our film with you the moment it is complete! We will be shooting in late August, and expect the film to be ready to go in October. Stay tuned! :)ABOUT OUR FILM
"Reflection" is a poetry-driven dramatic short film in which we experience the death of an unarmed African American man through different ages, and the effect that is has on the women in his life and community. The pain and suffering forced upon the women of the African American community is incredible, not to mention the strength that these women must provide, and the responsibilities they must fulfill in order to keep safe, repair, and move forward in the wake of senseless loss.
With countless unarmed African American men being murdered by police officers and because of racial tension, it is more important than ever to address police brutality and the undeniable issue of racism. Writer Gabrielle Parker is an incredible woman with much to say on the topic, in the form of poetry. Gabrielle started writing poetry as a child, at first as a way to express herself. After getting her MFA in creative writing, she started her own poetry workshop business with her friend and co-founder Kaya called WeWrite2Be. Since then she has been working on her poetry collection and endeavors in to the film world. "Reflection" will be her first poetry short film. Please join us in our mission to show the world that black lives truly matter.
