BE HERE NOW

An unemployed writer and activist with a fear of clowns is greeted by a clown version of herself in her bedroom. The film is a journey into the mind that grapples with existence, resistance, and what it means to be human.

What People Are Saying About

BE HERE NOW

  • You've created a story that everyone can relate to, no matter where they come from. You said the things I only say to myself.

    — said during the BHN Premiere

  • This film is Black queer surrelism.

    — said during the Hamden Screening

  • It feels like you set up a camera in my house. These are all the things I say to myself, but don't dare to say to others. This film makes me want to be more courageous.
