| creator’s note
Written/directed BY C. Emanuel Smith
"Male Pattern Boredness" is a creative endeavor that fuses my personal journey with the imaginative realms of Afro-surrealism. Rooted in the vibrant energy of my Black household, where humor and resilience reigned amidst mental health challenges, this short is a vivid tapestry of real and surreal experiences. My upbringing, marked by the spirited tales of brothers grappling with behavioral disorders, infuses the narrative with a surreal quality that transcends the ordinary.
Educated at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and proven through my directorial successes, my storytelling weaves the fantastical elements of Afro-surrealism with poignant, comedic narratives. This project is more than a proof of concept; it's an exploration of diverse realities, blending heartfelt humor with the enchanting and often mystical aspects of Black culture.
In "Male Pattern Boredness," I present a narrative that is as whimsical as it is sincere, as otherworldly as it is grounded in real experiences. It's a celebration of my heritage and creativity, showcasing my commitment to telling stories that resonate with both the authenticity of lived experiences and the boundless imagination of the art form.
great guy
