After Peer Consumption is legalized in World #336, their utopian governance and ideals like universal healthcare, universal education, universal employment, and a Ban on Police are overshadowed by a predatory housing market paired with vampiric cannibalism. Desperate to pay rent, or risk being eaten alive, Willow, a brooding elected observer of alt worlds &amp; timelines, better known as a Griot, navigates her way to Power.In World #336, a successful 1811 German Coast Slave Revolt leads to a multi-ethnic near-utopia, outlawing White Supremacy and most systemic instruments it uses. However, in this reality, consuming others grants one electrical power, regenerative healing, and the memories of their victim - a metaphor that viscerally reveals capitalism’s inherent violence, and toxic allure.Though a standalone short film, “Willow,” also lays the groundwork for an Afrofuturist TV series that wields the non-linear nature of time &amp; alt world travel as a vehicle to examine the ways in which sociopolitical events of the past can impact the present and future.Join NY Emmy Award-winning producer and creator of “Willow,” Paul A. Notice II, for a Screening and Q &amp; A discussion about their newest iteration of “Willow,” a project that begun as a play in 2012.
