VOICES SHORT FILM  

LMTMS (Let Me Tell My Story) and Momedia team up to create a short film during this pandemic: “Voices”. The height of a Chicago summer should be days at the beach, brunches in the city, and late night drives down Lake Shore drive. Instead, siblings Niaomi and Sean find themselves in a reality no one could have expected: COVID-19, peaceful protests, brutal police violence, and riots in the street all at the same time. The world suddenly explodes beyond the reach of their stoop, despite the restrictions confining them to just that. The two deal with the overwhelming news and find their places in the new normal. Siblings lean on each other as they navigate both the pride they have for their skin and identity, and the genuine fear from the danger of how the world chooses to see them. Their community falls apart and comes back triumphantly, and the two discover themselves in the midst of this movement. At this moment, everyone has a choice. To dissolve into panic or act selflessly for the sake of the next. In the midst of grief and confusion, these two decide to ask, “Doesn’t it feel good to be black?”. Join them as they hit the streets and work with their community to show the amazing things they can do.
