SYNOPSIS
After legalizing “Peer Consumption” in a vampiric world; near-utopian governance is quickly overshadowed by a truly predatory housing market. Desperate to pay rent, or risk being eaten alive, Willow, a brooding elected observer of alt-worlds & timelines, searches for solutions.

ABOUT
In World #336, a successful 1811 German Coast Slave Revolt leads to a multi-ethnic near-utopia, outlawing White Supremacy and most systemic instruments it uses. However, in this reality, consuming others grants one electrical power, regenerative healing, and the memories of their victim - a metaphor that viscerally reveals capitalism’s inherent violence, and toxic allure.
Though a standalone short film, “Willow,” also lays the groundwork for an Afrofuturist TV series that wields the non-linear nature of time & alt world travel as a vehicle to examine the ways in which sociopolitical events of the past can impact the present and future.
