Director Statement
Rebirth is a reimagining of the Adam and Eve story, set against a backdrop of modern societal challenges and deep-rooted historical pain. In this short film, our protagonists, who are Black, navigate the complexities of redemption, forgiveness, and sacrifice, themes that resonate deeply in a world still grappling with the shadows of its past.
The inspiration for Rebirth came from a desire to explore the foundational story of humanity through a lens that acknowledges and honors the experiences of individuals and communities. By placing Adam and Eve at the center of this narrative, we aim to confront and dismantle the often monolithic portrayal of biblical stories, offering instead a rich, nuanced, and deeply human perspective.

POEM:
I find myself back at 3240
Where we used to sit at the back table,Close to the bathroom in case we need
A hit of nicotine or a visit with mary.They replaced the wooden tables
With cold marble, erasingOur initials we carved
Into these tables on all those weekends... -
