What is it like being You, being Black in America?


SMS Novel is documenting the Black experience in America by creating interactive short films based on your life, with you as the star. The film is shot in person, via drones, with your voice narration added later. The film is made interactive, meaning after each scene, the viewer will be given 2 choices to make as the main character. The goal of the film is to show the Black experience in America, through your eyes.

3. Meet with the Filmmaker/Drone Pilot:
