Nefertite has written, produced and directed two short films: a uniquely stylized black and white romance entitled “I Want You,” and “The End of Winter,” an emotional meditation on loss, both of which screened at numerous film festivals. Amongst other web-based programming, Nefertite also directed a ten-part web series featuring Queen Latifah for CoverGirl and Flavor Unit Entertainment entitled ‘U.N.I.T.Y. Re-ignighted’, ‘Love Star’ a mini music documentary, as well as an eight-part web series entitled ‘Black America Again’ featuring Academy Award winning musician/actor Common for Universal Music and Freedom Road Productions.
As writer/director/producer, Nefertite made her feature film debut with “In The Morning,” a film about love and its inevitable change/decline charting the emotional anatomy of several relationships over the course of one day. “In The Morning” delves into the emotional landscape of contemporary black life in a way rarely seen in modern cinema. The film debuted at the UrbanWorld Film Festival in New York City and won the Audience Award for Best Feature Film. After a string of successful film festival screenings across the country and in Paris, France, the film also won the award for Best International Film at the Terra Di Siena Film Festival in Italy, Best Narrative Feature at the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia, and Best Feature Film and Best Overall at the Bronzelens Film Festival in Atlanta. “In The Morning” will be released in theaters.
