Experiencing Interruptions?

Oreo

Oreo is 4 vingettes - Black Card, Girls, Mira and The Other. They feature women of color at various ages and stages of their lives as they experience the moments of being on the "outside." Though a universal message, I hope that Oreo shows that these themes are often compounded by things like class, race, religion, and colorism. Here we focus on those moments where they choose how to conform or not to conform by standing in their otherness using humor and surrealism.

Director Biography - Cashmere Jasmine

Cashmere Jasmine - Writer - Director - Producer of award-winning shorts accepted into over a dozen festivals, including but not limited to: “Bombs Bursting in Air” (L.A. Intl. Film Fest, 2020) and “Weenie” (Buffer Film Fest, 2019). Her surrealist drama “Bitter” about an irresponsible dialysis patient struggling to maintain custody of her little sister, was a quarterfinalist of the WeScreenplay’s Diverse Voices Lab. Most recently Cashmere has become a mentee of TRIBE: Amy Aniobi’s TV Writer’s Program, Black Magic Collective’s All Access Fellowship ‘21, RespectAbility’s Summer Lab ‘21 as well as Sundance’s Accessible Futures Intensive. 2021 continues to be a rollercoaster ride as she preps “Oreo” for festival. “Oreo” is a short about identity and belonging she wrote and directed. As a winner of Sundance’s Uprise Fund, she will direct her next short film “Sick” a psychological body horror centering on a black woman traversing the medical system somewhere between being gaslit and quickly advancing neuroses. Cashmere continues to imagine new ways to tell disability-inclusive stories by using dark humor and surrealist imagery. These stories are often queer and often black, but maybe not in ways you are used to seeing them.
