Help us close out Black History Month as we debut these two important films expanding on trauma, related to racism and how it can affect mental health of people of color. This is the first public screening of the "Vitiligo" short film along with "The Art of Being Haunted."


Our hope is that, with these films, we can engage in trauma-informed conversations about, not only racism, but its many counterparts. Come enjoy the work of up and coming black film-makers, Hakim Hill & Cliff Notez, on February 27th at the Rockwell Theatre, and help us push these discussions to a place that is often forgotten.



Tickets are 7$ here when you RSVP


or $10 at the Door.


All proceeds go towards future screenings, building the infrastructure of HipStory Films, and the educational curriculum development and implementation for 'Vitiligo' and 'Art of Being Haunted'


Please email us at [email protected] if you would like to work out a deal for classes, or student groups.



If you can't make it? That's cool! If you believe in what we're trying to do with these films and racism in America, spread the word, tell your co-workers, student's, family. Our goal, more than anything is to continue these rare conversations, and we can't do that without your help!

Vitiligo:
Vitiligo is a short Psychological Suspense/Thriller that tells the story of a doctoral student who is guest lecturing a series on the inequalities/disparities for African Americans in media representations. This is the story of the events that transpire after an unnamed traumatic event has happened to Richard, and we walk through his psychotic break, trying to piece together clues that will point us to its original cause.

The Art of Being Haunted:
After getting into a fight at a house party, Basqui, a first-year college student facing school financial issues, and his group of friends, face retaliation that turns violent. Some time later, the weight of stress and paranoia interrupts Basqui's day as he tries to make his way back to school. Bringing his friends with him to start the new semester, they make sure to remind Basqui that he has his hand of guilt in the violent events that transpired.
