Director Statement

Fancy Arguments is my Directing for Screen graduation project from City Lit, London that I have filmed in 2 hours with 0 budget. I asked myself, how powerful of a relief it would be for a black woman in her 50s to come out as gay 20 years in a turbulent heterosexual marriage. And I wanted to portray just that in this short film. I hope you enjoy it!
