EPISODE 1 OF THE "N" WORD
With the help of a good friend/collaborator and a 'down for it' DoP, Emeka is shooting a conversational piece on race. But no matter how progressive they all are (or think they are) tense moments rare their awkward heads.
EPISODE 2 OF THE "N" WORD
Years after an old project fell through, Emeka visits his collaborator/friends as a show of attrition. They talk about his life as a creative and what the future might hold.

Every season is the title of the poem he is working on.
