Manhatta (2021)

Be careful what you wish for. With a poem by Harlem Renaissance poet Claude Mckay (1922) "On Broadway." This playful fantasy short film counter-colonizes the male gaze, to explore intersectional objectification. A young Black Manhattan businessman walked home alone at night, after fixing his smile. Suddenly his fantasies come true, and women find him irresistible. He, however, is overwhelmed. Divine intervention comes in strange forms: a jogger with a dozen wolves, hands from the heavens, and his Dentist as God.
