JIMMY
It’s 1948 in Harlem, New York and a young James Baldwin is seeking something more than his stateside life. Weaving this starting point into a modern narrative, Jimmy charts Baldwin’s arrival abroad through energetic and sweeping handheld camera work in Yashaddai Owens’ debut feature film. From the rich landscapes of Istanbul and onto the streets of Paris we follow Jimmy in his early experiences of life abroad, blurring our consciousness of time and place to uncover the truth of how an artist navigates their way in the world.
…a delightfully sweet love story rendered with the heat of the heart.
