This puckish lo-fi provocation is at once a heady consideration of race, authenticity, and authorship and a sly meta-satire on the white, bourgeois pretensions of so much American indie cinema. When their car breaks down in a snowstorm, a white aspiring artist couple are taken in for the night by an older black man (Parliament Funkadelic’s Michael “Clip” Payne) for an enigmatic evening that will ultimately leave them shaken to their core and questioning everything.
Q&A with co-writers and producers James N. Kienitz Wilkins & Robin Schavoir, actress Emily Davis, and producer Paul Dallas.
