Experiencing Interruptions?

Brim

"Brim" is a trans-generational drama exploring racial trauma, resilience, and legacy, as we follow a family from the 1940s into the 2020s. The narrative navigates the erasure of Blackness and how racial trauma impacts Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline as the majority American identity reckons with race and privilege and their role in oppressive systems.

Director Biography - Keenan Dailey

For over the past 15 years, Keenan Dailey, MFA, has been a multidisciplinary afrofuturist artist and designer.

His work focuses on disenfranchised and marginalized communities. Using empathic systems thinking, he looks to dismantle mechanisms of oppression that work to destroy those same communities. He plans to forge harmonious design solutions to help ease and eventually end these communities' suffering. He earned his Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and Master's of Fine Arts in graphic design and design systems.

Ultimately, he wants to use his artistic voice in conjunction with his design efforts to share catharsis with those populations who ordinarily wouldn't have the opportunity to express trauma.

Director Statement

As creatives it is our responsibility to unabashedly uncover the roots of society, so that we are well fit to show the machine it's own reflection. As artists collectively we know this but hand in hand we must also take direct action in supporting and uplifting the same communities we strive to represent.
