Soul Tapes

By JaMario Stills and Will Johnson
Adapted from "The Soul Tapes of Black Folk" by Will Johnson
Directed by JaMario Stills

A celebration of Black being through the ages.

In 2105, soul musician Taji and filmmaker Siya bond over their shared love of vintage media: cassette tapes, film reels, and the public access television show “Beautiful Black Brilliance,” featuring a record store owner named Genesis Jones. But when Taji and Siya’s relationship is challenged by a tempting celestial force, Genesis, a sage and ancestor, guides them through a series of surprising revelations that help illuminate their path. Soul Tapes explores the challenges of when shared visions are tested by individual pursuits.
