A quick waxing session turns into a nightmare when a Brazilian gets a brazilian.

A queer, Black, aspiring Baltimore rapper must outwit his vengeful day-job boss in order to avoid getting fired after accidentally eating an edible.

Children of Paris is a vignette style documentary short whose central focus is hip-hop artists Kotic Couture and DDm as well as pop artist Rovo Monty. These Baltimore based black LGBTQ+ performers hustle to bridge the gap between the underground scene and mainstream stardom. The demand for Kotic Couture, DDm, and Rovo Monty’s sound is soaring in the counterculture, so the question still remains, why is the hip-hop/pop mainstream industry still dragging its feet on a real push to back black LGBTQ+ artists?

'The Fire Flies, Francesca, Baltimore' is an urban tale, a road movie, that opposes a driving through Baltimore and an immersion in the underground Vogue scene - homosexual and trans gender black performers from the ghettos of the city. A poetics of survival.
