Khalil, a family saga i (2026), Dir. C.Yard
Logline: Haunted by childhood trauma, Khalil resists his friend Ryan’s push to try psychedelics—until one surreal, awkward, and unexpectedly healing trip forces him to confront fears buried deep within.
Artist bio: Careina Yard is a filmmaker and educator currently residing in Saratoga Springs, NY. A graduate of NYU Gallatin, where she earned a Master’s in Film Studies, Black Studies, and Education, she brings an interdisciplinary lens to films that explore identity, community, resilience, and the lived experiences of Black and Brown communities. She currently teaches Narrative Film Production as an Assistant Lecturer at Skidmore College, extending her commitment to storytelling and education into the classroom. Through abstract visuals, non-linear narratives, layered soundscapes, and poetic social commentary, C.Yard uses filmmaking as both an artistic practice and an act of resistance, seeking to decolonize the imagination and create space for stories historically silenced or misrepresented.
