Hyacinth Parker, Writer / Director, is a first-time filmmaker. After extensive travels, from Havana, Cuba to Ahmedabad, India, Hyacinth ultimately lived in Jogjakarta, Indonesia, where she witnessed how entertainment transcends race, class, religion, and culture. Hyacinth’s unique experiences have deepened her understanding of diverse cultures and global trends. Her global perspective gives her insight into what compels people from all backgrounds and inspired Hyacinth to tell stories about African Americans and people of color abroad. Hyacinth’s goal through her storytelling is to refocus the lens not only on Black people, but on the dynamics held between people of color; to shift from Black vs. White and explore the relationships between Black, Asian, Latinx, Indigenous, etc. as well as the nuances within each of these groups. Throughout her career, Hyacinth has explored the intersection of art, culture, technology, and politics, and used her broad outlook to create content that comes from unusual places and resonates across the human experience.
