7 SHARP

LaCora Stephens is a southern girl raised in Jacksonville, Florida that's always had a love for the arts. Her degree in theatre at FAMU sparked a passion for authentic characters and dramatic stories inspired by August Wilson and Lorraine Hansberry. LaCora's latest and most notable work, "7 SHARP", her directorial debut is a story of suspense, guilt, and moral gravity. Revolving around three generations of black women, a sinister family secret divides them. A story so common, but rarely even whispered among others. Stephens serves as founder of Building Tables Productions, a production company that creates, develops, and produces independent content that will enhance the quality life of her viewers. She believes it’s time we see the full scope of black humanity presented in as many different stories as possible. She's on to something. 7 SHARP took home its first award for BEST FILM at the inaugural Leimert Park Cultural Film Festival. One thing’s for sure—she’s going to keep writing more compelling stories and do her best to disrupt the visual of the ones that sit at these tables that everyone keeps talking about.
