FRAGMENTS OF A BLACK SOUL
A Visual Triptych by FEELSOUL
Production Overview:
Logline:
A three-part cinematic meditation on pain, longing, and the unraveling of identity—told through the lens of a Black man reckoning with love, abandonment, and survival.
Short Films:
1. IT AIN’T EASY
Runtime: 4:13 | Black & White | Score and Direction by FEELSOUL
A poetic confession of the quiet struggle. This short film is stripped, raw, and unfiltered—offering a glimpse into the exhaustion of emotional endurance. “IT AIN’T EASY” explores what it means to carry the weight of masculinity in silence. Every frame hums with restrained sorrow, from vacant stares to silent prayers. A resistance piece wrapped in grace.
2. THE HEART
Runtime: 5:15 | Black & White | Original Score by FEELSOUL
Vulnerability bleeds through the cracks of armor. “THE HEART” is an intimate portrait of the need for connection—told in whispers and ghostly memories. Shot like a dream drifting between moments of past tenderness and present loneliness, it poses a question: How do we seek love when we’ve never truly felt seen?
3. NO FAKE LOVE
Runtime: 5:34 | Black & White | Written & Scored by FEELSOUL
The illusion of love is just another transaction. “NO FAKE LOVE” deconstructs modern attachment through poetic visuals, isolating the performance of affection from the reality of emotional abandonment. It is both a warning and a farewell letter—told through shadowplay, grain, and the lingering residue of a touch that never meant to stay.
Production Style & Intent:
Shot in stark monochrome with grain overlays and a meditative pacing, these three films flow like journal entries whispered into the void. The sonic landscape—composed entirely by FEELSOUL—guides the viewer inward. Minimal dialogue, maximal emotion. Each film stands alone, but together they form a fractured mirror of a Black soul in process—fighting, feeling, forgiving.
Artistic Influences:
Barry Jenkins’ intimacy. Arthur Jafa’s collage consciousness. Roy DeCarava’s softness in shadow. With the scoring sensibility of a lost vinyl record spinning in a forgotten room.
