Abstract: If one compares literature to film , traditional storytelling is almost identical in both mediums. Protagonist is introduced , gains some companions , goes on a quest , slays the dragon , and saves the princess. And while non-traditional storytelling- namely , poetry and embroidery- is universally accepted and admired within art , its film equivalent has not found the same mainstream respect or recognition. Concurrently , the stories of people of color- their hardships , their humanity , their dreams- have only recently been welcome into the mainstream of storytelling. In my project , I hope to bring these two often ignored topics and marry them into a piece of work that does justice to both mediums.
