"Making Our Spaces Sacred" is my first short documentary and features some of Baltimore's most dynamic artistic, spiritual, and cultural leaders. It is rooted in my deep love of stories about the African American experience, especially our untold and rarely heard stories. This video began as a conversation with a friend in 2021. I now have over 10 hours of recorded conversations along with footage and photographs of outdoor sites around Baltimore City. My challenge was to either wait until I raised enough money to produce a full-length documentary OR share what I had with funding received from a modest MSAC individual artist grant. I'm glad I followed my gut. However short, there's so much meaning and beauty in this video that invites repeated viewings, which may be the gift of its length. Sometimes we artists must make the most of what we have and let the work stand for itself.
