1/3 of The Story

1/3 of The Story ~2023


1/3 of the Story is my directorial debut; directed, written, produced, and edited by me, Mesgana Berhane. Also Produced through Mission Media.


A coming of age short film I wrote to represent the people of color in suburbia; our stories aren't told often enough, so I told it myself.
