feature: support ‘queen of glory’, a female-directed dark comedy

Last year we announced that Nana Mensah of YouTube series ‘An African City’ fame was writing, directing and starring in a new film called ‘Queen of Glory’. Apart of the ‘Black Girl Quirk’ genre (pioneered by works such as Issa Rae’s ‘Awkward Black Girl’), the dark comedy follows Sarah Obeng (a PhD candidate at Columbia University) who when her mother dies suddenly becomes the sole proprietor of King of Glory, a Christian bookstore in the Pelham Parkway neighborhood in the Bronx. “Life in the bookstore sparks both painful and hilarious lessons as Sarah attempts to equalize in the wake of her mother’s death.” Well filming is now complete! However as every filmmaker knows, this is only half of the journey. To learn more about the project and support it in its post production phase, click here.
