"Queen & Slim" Needs a Trim
Queen & Slim is a nice example of representation in both cast and crew
Third Wheel (2025)
Third Wheel delves into the complexities of breakups, breakdowns, friendship, and the profound struggles of heartbreak. Exploring the universal journey of learning to be 'alone' and finding oneself, Third Wheel challenges the conventions of romantic comedies and dramas, where the boy always gets the girl and they live happily ever after. In Third Wheel, Ray embarks on a different path, one uncommonly told but all too familiar in real life. By veering away from the typical tropes of the genre, this story sheds light on the underrepresented impact of learning to date yourself. It offers a fresh resolution and a universal theme that resonates with audiences from all walks of life: you cannot truly be comfortable with somebody else until you are comfortable with yourself.
