BLACK SKY
written by Amanda L. Andrei 
directed by Ludovica Villar-Hauser

In a near future world where the government trains teenagers to manage disasters, five young women embark on a training scenario in the Appalachian Mountains to fix a regional electrical grid. As they hide secrets about their pasts and what is installed in their bodies, leadership and friendship become fractured. And when a freak electromagnetic storm hits the grid and injures the teens, they must fight for their bodies, relationships, and lives, struggling with a question that faces many of us today: how do we grow up in a world that is falling apart?

Amanda L. Andrei is a 2020 winner of our Annual Parity Commission.
