A self-portrait exploring the physicality of the Black female form.
“There’s No Werewolves in Newark” follows a disillusioned EMT on the day he quits his job in Newark, NJ. He finds himself entangled in a wild adventure when he takes on a mysterious Craigslist gig, only to discover his employer's explosive secret - she is a werewolf. As he navigates the chaos, he grapples with personal loss and a newfound perspective on life while questioning the supernatural happenings in his city.
Appliance follows Sophie Weiss, whose house and its malfunctioning appliances become extensions of her biological self deconstruction. Just after a week of moving into her new home, Sophie's sense of reality takes on a distorted form as she begins to believe her house is living and breathing around her. Perhaps a result of her isolation? The side effect of a fertility treatment? Or even an outside antagonist? Appliance makes light of the disturbing history shaping the American delusion that homeownership is both an accessible tool for social mobility and a means by which one can value their self-worth.
