Little White Lies

Kokomo City

Directed by D. SMITH

Released 24 JULY

irst-time filmmaker D Smith imbues her feature debut with a vibrant, immediate energy that feels incredibly unique. Clocking in at a centres on four Black trans sex workers in New York and Atlanta, whose unfettered openness and charisma are given ample space to shine. They speak candidly about their lives and bodies, sharing their truth in ways both humorous and poignant. Even if relatively conventional in form, the film is sharp and stylised, the high-contrast black and white photography regularly punctuated with yellow typography lending the picture an artful yet DIY feel.
