"Drive Slow" is a 13-minute short film that follows a teenager from the South-Side of Chicago attempting to finish his college essays. As he struggles to boil down his complex surroundings in 500 words, his friends' disparate opinions, racists news narratives, and the threat of linger danger only complicate the process.
