The African Desperate
Where do broken hearts go? Can they go home?
Directed by Martine Syms
Produced by Ways & Means
A comedic, hallucinatory coming-of-age odyssey about a young artist's final day at school, blending humor and melancholy as she navigates the gap between artistic ambition and personal longing.
It’s MFA grad Palace Bryant’s final 24 hours in art school, and she is not going to the graduation party! She needs to get back home to Chicago from Upstate New York, but that means surviving a hazy, hilarious, and hallucinatory odyssey, stumbling from academic critiques to backseat hookups.
