Synopsis:
Amara Clarice Park is a biracial photographer with no job prospects. Living in the shadow of her successful younger brother, her parent’s high expectations and lack of support have forced her to reconsider her life choices.
After a slew of rejections, Amara receives an invite to showcase at a prestigious exhibit that night. And, she takes this as an opportunity to prove to her parents and herself who she really is. However, when she realizes that the exhibit’s theme is “Who are you?” She finds that she doesn’t know the answer.
With each picture she takes, Amara realizes the heart of what she is struggling to address is her identity. With the exhibit only hours away, Amara must face her family, her experiences, and her herself to not only present at the exhibit, but to understand she is an artist and an individual.
