Directed by Ryerson’s Alicia Harris, the short is a deep dive into society’s perceptions of natural beauty.

PICK artfully captures the common experiences of Black women and the relationship with their hair.

A rom com that follows 2 people that fall in love. Twist: it's all an elaborate prank that happens over 2 hrs created by the ex partner of the lead character who hired an actor to play the person they fell in love with in the first place as revenge.
