Women of Honey and Water

"Women of Honey and Water" is a documentary short film that explores the lives of two women on the island of Taiwan, whose existence is deeply intertwined with both the sea and the land. Surfers and beekeepers, they share an intimate connection with nature that goes beyond the physical, a dance of respect and transcendence. Through their voices, we embark on a sensory journey through their community in Taiwan, where the wind caresses the water and bees dance in the air. This is a tribute to their island, a love song to the harmony between the human and the natural world, a reminder that the true bond with the world around us lies in reverence and care for the elements that sustain us.

Shoot Your Shot

Logline:
A single mother’s everyday routine turns into a fight for her life when an aggressive encounter on the South Side of Chicago spirals out of control.

Overview:
This short film follows JaBria Spears, a hard-working waitress and single mother, as she races through the bustling streets of Chicago’s South Side to pick up her daughter from daycare. Exhausted but determined, JaBria’s path is interrupted when she crosses paths with a local crew hanging out on the block. What begins as unwanted attention from one of the guys quickly escalates into a tense and dangerous confrontation.

As JaBria attempts to brush off Devontae—a persistent and increasingly hostile member of the group—her personal boundaries are ignored and her safety is threatened. A phone call from her daughter’s daycare only heightens the urgency of her situation. When JaBria finally stands her ground, Devontae’s fragile ego erupts into violence with irreversible consequences.

This film is a raw, unflinching portrait of the everyday threats women—particularly Black women—face simply by existing in public spaces. Through JaBria’s story, we explore themes of misogyny, resilience, and the unseen toll of survival in marginalized communities.
