Zenzelé Soa-Clarke

October 2021. The small apartment of a girl making a film. Laundry piles on the desk chair, tender karaoke in the living room, and a needy cat that makes life worth living. Mundane moments immortalized on SD cards and fleeting iPhone storage. Memories not worth remembering, yet cherished.

Zenzelé Soa-Clarke directs and stars in “An Independent Movie About a Young Artist,” a meta breakdown on the tropes of slice-of-life indie filmmaking (“mumblecore, character driven, all the shit”), and an attempt to write her own.
