Metamorphosis is a six-minute visual journey that picks up where Enter Psychosis left off. Shot like a psychological short film, it follows a man haunted by a voice from his past, wandering through a familiar street he no longer recognizes. As fragments of memory resurface, reality starts to slip. Metamorphosis dives into themes of grief, denial, and the fear of facing the truth, leading to a quiet and unsettling moment when he finds a mask. It’s a story about running away from pain, and what we become when we do.

The Gates, John Burr’s new thriller film, is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of three Black twenty-somethings - Derek (Mason Gooding), Kevin (Algee Smith), and Tyon (Keith Powers), as they accidentally take a wrong turn into a gated community that’s more like a modern-day sundown town. The three friends witness a variety of crimes in their new surroundings, including an attempted homicide and an attempted rape. As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor.
The film blends reality and the supernatural world together, leaving the viewer unsure of what’s real and what’s merely a figment of Michael’s agitated imagination.

From being unfairly outed, to going after the life you want for yourself, these songs from 'Frozen' perfectly capture the journey out of the closet.
Jordan Peele’s film is an intelligent and unflinching piece of work, firmly focused on the African American experience.
