Film: The House on Coco Road
In 1983 my mother is offered a position in the Ministry of Education and we leave our home in Oakland and move to Grenada. I?d never seen her happier. Grenada was briefly our home. In 1983 the United States led a military invasion following the assassination of the young popular Prime Minister, Maurice Bishop. We hid under the bed for three days as bombs shook our new paradise, and changed its course forever. Sixteen years later, in 1999, I returned to Grenada with my mother, and began shooting a documentary film, searching for her story, one that felt not just untold, but unfinished. In 2014, I discovered a box of family super 8 footage of my great grandmother in rural Louisiana on the land our family sharecropped and my grandmother?s migration west. I started to unravel my mother?s path to activism. I started to understand why my mother, and a group of tireless women, had put their lives on the line, daring to build a better world. You may not know their names, but they have changed the course of history.

A tale of fashion and rebellion in paradise.
Parisian crossdresser Vincent travels to his homeland, the small Caribbean Island of St Lucia to stage the fashion show of his dreams. On an Island of fierce sexual politics, his arrival sparks immediate controversy with his flamboyant persona and sexuality splitting public opinion.
Vincent is an edgy, cutting, passionate, and witty character who is known for his love of women?s clothing, in particular high heels. He is also not without ego and sees himself as a potential saviour to the Island?s fashion industry.
Throughout, Vincent trains a group of young, inexperienced, aspiring models, with whom he forms a unique bond of friendship and loyalty. But from his arrival on the Island, Vincent begins to criticise the local fashion industry leading to resentment from some of the Islands? elite. It is not long before Vincent is fighting local hostilities, homophobia, and Island Officials.
Vincent and his fashion show soon become a direct challenge to the Island's status quo and the Island's chief power broker.
And just 24 hours before the show, Vincent?s relationship with his co-producers completely breaks down. Tensions will rise, angers flare, and all goes wrong.
