OUT OF TUNE (2022)
Out of Tune is a personal, heartwarming short that centers MAYA, a proud, awkward, Black woman harboring a childhood secret— her profound love for the white boy rock band, Journey. Maya has recently begun working at the Black-owned, tech company LYRICAL. There, workers transcribe lyrics, allowing app users to identify rap songs in seconds.
We follow Maya from adolescence to adulthood, hiding, stumbling and otherwise challenging what it means to be Black. A grown woman still in search of her authentic voice. Yearning to live comfortably, Out of Tune.
