Project Detail

Choked

A mixed race woman looks directly into the camera with her hands around her own neck, lying against orange velvet pillows.

Synopsis

Shakona doesn't always want to be treated so nicely, sometimes she wants to feel like the world does: chaotic. Yet she can't get her devoted and loving boyfriend Eddie to meet her needs, so she goes to where all good decisions are made, a hookup app. Just as it seems like Shakona is finally letting go, she has the chance to take power into her own hands...
