Diaspora

2022 · 16 min

A creeping, uneasy short that turns suburban neighbourly paranoia into something quietly horrifying and pointed.

Overview: In a black suburb, a couple begins to notice that their neighbours are disappearing and white people are moving in. They soon discover something much more unpalatable.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, dark and satirical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Race, isolation, identity, class
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
