Waves - Animated Short Film

While a young boy tries to wash off the gold appearing on his skin in the ocean, his father challenges him to see its value. With a sentimental montage of black culture, “Waves” teaches black youth to take pride and find their flow instead of trying to wash themselves away.

This film is dedicated to Black Boys and their futures.

I’d like to extend my thanks to the crew who made my vision possible. I couldn’t have done it without you.
