Take Me Home

Gabrielle, an African-American mixed teen, is possessed by a Yoruban masquerade costume in a suburb of Los Angeles as a result of the ancestors possessing the costume trying to find their way home to Africa.

Gaby's father and stepmother hire a few Yoruban priests to get the spirits out of their prized daughter, unveiling muted issues of addiction, cultural assimilation, and identity.

Director Biography - Dotun "Ambassador Alfred" Taylor

Dotun "Ambassador Alfred" Taylor has produced a couple of films after anchoring a radio show while in Nigeria. He has also written a couple of books.

"So, if I did not have films, I would use the microphone. If I did not have the microphone, I will write. So candidly, I mean it that I am not a filmmaker, but I just use these mediums because I can manipulate them to tell stories. First of all, I want to tell a story and I don’t mind the medium."

Director Statement

"I’m not a filmmaker, I’m a historian who now chooses film as a medium of expression, which means I will not make a random action movie except it has historical perspective. The motivation has always been culture and also it’s a story of the repatriation of African arts. I am a Yoruba ambassador so immediately I saw the story, I decided that this is what I should do."
