Kamaria Williams is a queer, Black, multidisciplinary storyteller, actor, and filmmaker originally from New York City—a graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts and USC Gould School of Law. As a current LLM candidate, Kamaria brings a rare intersection of creative and legal insight to their work. They explore the complexities of identity, power, and trauma through the lens of the horror, thriller, and supernatural drama genres.
Their latest film, Soul Sisters, continues their mission of centering marginalized voices with unflinching honesty and unsettling tension. It follows the success of their psychological horror short, HAUNTED, which examines the quiet terror of suppressed truth. A proud member of SAG-AFTRA and Equity, Kamaria is currently based in Los Angeles, London, and New York City.
Horror has always been the most honest way I know how to talk about the things we hide from ourselves. In Soul Sisters, the "monster" isn’t just a supernatural force unleashed by a vial of serum; it is the corrosive nature of unvoiced trauma and the desperate, often violent, pressure society places on Black women to maintain a veneer of perfection.
Coming from a background in both performance and law, I am fascinated by the "contracts" we sign with ourselves and society, the silent agreements to suppress our desires or bury our pasts in exchange for survival or success. This film explores what happens when those contracts are forcibly torn up. I wanted to take the intimate, sometimes claustrophobic bond of sisterhood and push it through a supernatural sieve, watching as the eclectic masks of these three women crack, revealing the raw ambition and fear beneath.
Visually and tonally, Soul Sisters is designed to feel like a fun, vibrant night into a fever dream that then slowly turns into a nightmare! We lean into the unsettling tension of the "skincare" ritual, an act of self-care twisted into an act of self-destruction. My goal was to center marginalized voices not as victims, but as complex, flawed protagonists grappling with their own shadows in a world that rarely gives them the space to be human.
Ultimately, Soul Sisters asks a question that haunts us all: In a world obsessed with transformation and "becoming," what parts of ourselves are we willing to trade away to reach the final version?
