WEB SERIES: NOISEY JAMAICA – DANCEHALL FASHION (HAHAHA)

In episode five host Codine Williams goes shopping to up her game and fit in with the girls of the dancehall. [Thanks Keysha] Oh dear… Hahahahahahahahahaha.

SHORT FILM: THE TAKEOVER

The Takeover is the story of best friends Ashley, a Caucasian fashion designer, and Tisha, an African American comic book artist, who debate the difficulty of dating in Los Angeles; each arguing that the other has it easier. After help from their favorite barista, Yoshi, and his exotic espresso, the ladies swap bodies and experience the dating scene in each other’s shoes for 24 hours.
