Directed by: Barry Jenkins

Featuring: Wyatt Cenac, Tracey Heggins

Wyatt Cenac (of the Daily Show) and Tracey Heggins star in this love story about two African-American twenty-something's, their one-night stand, and a revealing day-after in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco - a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city. In his internationally acclaimed and award-winning debut feature, writer/director Barry Jenkins creates a tender yet resonant tale of sex, race, bicycles and modern urban life that became one of the most significant hits of the festival season and remains perhaps the most talked-about independent film of the year.
