Scenes from Sweet Lorraine (2020)

Sweet Lorraine is a dramatic interpretation of the final conversation had between best friends, Lorraine Hansberry and James Baldwin in Lorraine's New York City Hospital Room in January 1965. The play is set one week prior to Lorraine's passing from pancreatic cancer and explores the complex, dynamic and often heated relationship between these two prolific, creative giants and American Artists and Activists. This short was produced as a benefit in support of Stand Up To Cancer and the Equity in the Arts and Culture committee of the Brooklyn NAACP and brought awareness about pancreatic cancer specifically in African American communities and communities of color. It aired on World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day .
