Press Release: "Make Me a Doorway" / October Festivals (2012)


INDIE SHORT FILM “MAKE ME A DOORWAY” TO BE SCREENED AT TWO FESTIVALS IN OCTOBER

FILM, NARRATED BY POET ALEXZENIA DAVIS, HEADS TO THE CO-KISSER FILM FESTIVAL AND THE VISIBLE VERSE FILM FESTIVAL

Los Angeles, CA (September 13, 2012)—Poet Alexzenia Davis’ work as part of the experimental short film, "Make Me a Doorway,” will gain a brand new audience as it heads to two festivals this October. The short film will screen at the 2nd annual Co-Kisser film festival in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 6.  Additionally, it has been selected for screening at the Visible Verse film festival in Vancouver on October 13.

A compelling examination of self-awareness, “Make Me a Doorway” delves into topics such as memory, intimacy, and true understanding. Davis, pens a brave exploration into the experiences and visuals captured by filmmaker, Jesse Russell Brooks. In a true collaboration between writer and filmmaker, "Make Me a Doorway" defines the power of self-discovery while considering what photography makes of love lost, ultimately revealing how these reflections transform us. The film screened at the Black Women in Film Festival in June, and more recently, the Peachtree Village International Film Festival.

Davis, a native of New York City, released her first book, “Would You Love Me?” in December 2011. She is currently working on her second book, expected for release in late 2012.
