DIR. Elizabeth Bayne

Las Chicas is a humorous experimental short film about a romantically challenged African American protagonist, “Elizabeth.” When she prepares for a date with the help of her friends, “Mia” and “Erin,” deep-seated belief systems are challenged as they struggle to accept what Elizabeth believes is the source of her dating frustrations - her dark skin. This semi-autobiographical short film tackles the issue of colorism in the Los Angeles dating scene with wit and heart.
