It al­so al­lows for kweliTV’s glob­al film­mak­ers to have their work viewed by film en­thu­si­asts out­side of the more es­tab­lished film fes­ti­vals.

The evening’s launch plans to fea­ture 1 short film ‘Bit­ter­sweet’ by Bri­an­na Ab­dul­lah and one lo­cal fea­ture length film ‘Be­tween Friends’ by Omari Jack­son.

Bit­ter­sweet tells the sto­ry of Aaron, a young col­lege fresh­man who just ex­pe­ri­enced a bad breakup. Ea­ger to hop back in­to the dat­ing world, Aaron turns to on­line dat­ing in hopes of meet­ing “the one”. Through­out his jour­ney to find true love, he comes in­to a few pe­cu­liar young women that dis­cour­age him from want­i­ng to pur­sue In­ter­net dat­ing any fur­ther. Fol­low Aaron’s jour­ney in this short ro­man­tic com­e­dy to see where his heart leads him.

Be­tween Friends, set in Trinidad and To­ba­go, is a film that presents an an­thol­o­gy of in­ter­sect­ing sto­ries and char­ac­ters who are all con­nect­ed to one an­oth­er in some way. The sto­ry­line, fo­cused on two gen­er­a­tions of con­tem­po­rary mid­dle-class Trinida­di­ans, grad­u­al­ly ex­pos­es the hopes, se­crets, lies and be­tray­als in the lives of the var­i­ous char­ac­ters. For some, this is a re­al­i­ty check, for oth­ers a dev­as­tat­ing new re­al­i­ty.
