Mending Walls

Artist Hamilton Glass challenges 30 artists from different cultural backgrounds to collaborate on 16 murals in Richmond, VA about race, status and experiences. In real-time footage and testimonial, the film shows how the artists got to know each other through difficult conversations, how working together ultimately opened their eyes and their hearts to the differences between all of us, and how these murals became a symbol of hope for the future for a community in pain.


The Purgatory of Ghosts and Grief

The Purgatory of Ghosts and Grief is an exploration of grief between a Black and Chinese-American interracial couple, and how their respective cultures deal with loss, love and acceptance. In the story, a bereaved man is visited by the ghost of his wife, and in doing so she hinders his healing and ability to process his loss.
