MASKING (2021) قناع

Executive Directed by: Zephyrrah-Solimar T’Sharliz-Xaraguá fka Amanda Christine Charles

Director Of Photography: Lucas Miroslaw

In the final days of Ramadan when Muslims are spiritually tethered to Allah and self-reflection, black teenagers’ only hope to attend the prom and experience the American rites of passage. Afia is a high school senior excited about Prom, dress shopping, and experiencing her first American dance. Charles loves his daughter and is conflicted about letting Afia go to the dance if it means neglecting her Islamic faith. The will of a teenager and the love of a father collide in this story of clashing cultures and their preservation of trust.
