CODE
Code is about the struggle between the old ways of Rastafari levity and modern-day technology. It is also about a boy who defies a father he loves and respects to prove his manhood.


THIS CITY OF MINE
A young woman tries to navigate Kingston’s public transportation system and some harassing encounters, all while trying to make it to her first day of work on time.


ONE PATTY
An impatient young man enters a patty shop. All he wants is one patty, but the colourful patrons in the line hamper his efforts. His impatience causes him to make rash decisions and he learns a valuable life lesson the hard way.


FEVER DREAM
A solitary scrap metal collector must navigate his way back to the path of promise after disaster strikes. He is meanwhile plagued by dreams of a beautiful life once lived, or yet to come.
