We’re excited to announce that our 2021 From Script to Stage selection I Digress: The Intimate Insights of a Childhood Weirdo will be available to screen September 8-26, 2021 on our Vimeo channel!
By fusing theatrical performance, music, and projection design with archival materials, filmmaking, and video art, Sauda Jackson sifts through the weight and consequences of grief by taking us down a hilarious and heartfelt coming of age journey from a young girl in 1980s Chicago, through her adolescence and the death of her mother, to her own discovery of how absence, family narratives, and the legacy of history shape us—making us who we are and who we are not.
