Devette, I'm thinking having an overview might be good. These are 2019 production. Also below should indicate what role she played?

American Son
American Son is a gripping tale of two parents caught in our national divide, with their worst fears hanging in the balance when a mother finds herself at a police station in the middle of the night; searching for her black teenage son who is missing.
Curve of Departure
Curve of Departure features a family of diverse and disparate folks, all of whom are trying their best to overcome life challenges they struggle to understand. All occurring while they deal with their feelings at the funeral of a recently deceased friend.
Skelton Crew
