- Faces of WomanhoodThe film narrates the transitional period from a young girl into a woman and the new challenges that one must face. What we may learn from our mothers is that womanhood is monolithic, but the experience teaches us that there are many phases to it; and during the process of becoming a woman, you are allowed to be both a masterpiece and work in progress. Womanhood then, isn't a final face to be worn, or a final destination, but a constant state of discovery. Written & Directed - Naomi Grant Produ
- Dare to DreamLast year I was commissioned by Youtube Originals x Livity to create a spin off Terms & Conditions film. I’m very excited to start of the year with Dare to Dream, starring Joe Bay. The short documentary explores societal systems that fail black men through a musically charged dialogue between him and the female influences in his life.
