The film was directed by Denise Dowse who passed away recently. Executive Producer and writer Ericka Nicole Malone will lead the Q&A after the screening and Tracey Dowse, the sister of Denise, will attend to represent her sister and receive the tribute in Denise’s honor.

Another film in the festival is PURPLE BEATZ – a coming of age romance set in the 90’s drum ‘n bass scene. The film is led by an ethnically diverse, and predominately female, cast and crew. The faith-based documentary SEND PROOF is an exploration of the gap between the intellectual and the spiritual.
