SCREENWRITING
Bleach was written and produced in commission with Cadence Theatre Company as a part of their Sitelines BLM initiative.
SYNOPSIS
Three young people in a poetry collective play a game that opens the door for conversation about how to stay safe when racial tension is again on the rise in the former capital of the Confederacy. Bleach is simultaneously a film about the erasure of history and a memorialization to the beauty and humanity of Black people everywhere.
Bleach is set during the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 and filmed in front of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ “Rumors of War” statue and at Richmond’s African Burial Ground.
