Letitia Wright has stepped behind the camera with Highway To The Moon—a poetic, surreal short that turns grief into grace. In our new video interview, Wright opens up about the “imposter syndrome” she felt directing for the first time, and why she embraced an ethereal, dreamlike style to capture a purgatory-like state between loss and healing. Actors Kenyah Sandy (Micah) and Lamar Waves (Trey) join us to speak about the film’s emphasis on brotherhood and how that bond shaped their performances.
Commissioned by WePresent (WeTransfer) and produced via 3.16 Productions, the film is Oscar® and BAFTA-qualified, selected for the BFI London Film Festival, and nominated for Best Sci-Fi at HollyShorts.
Rooted in the aftermath of youth violence and inspired by a real tragedy close to the filmmaker, Highway To The Moon channels personal pain into a lyrical meditation on memory, resilience and community.
