Crown (2024)
When a young, Black artist-sommelier lands a job at one of New York City’s most prestigious wine bars, he is pressured with the ultimatum of changing his appearance to adhere to ‘traditions,’ forcing him to navigate the hypocrisy of hair discrimination in a world where the art is celebrated but the artist is not.
