How It’s Gon’ Be
by JuCoby Johnson
directed by Ahmed Best

September 16th-October 23rd

With adulthood looming in the distance, Jahaan and his friends enjoy the last precious moments of summer vacation. When Jahaan’s father returns after a year away, the world stops spinning for a moment and lines are drawn in the sand. A poetic exploration of missed connections and feelings too great to speak aloud..
