*New York, New York — Patrice D. Bowman’s award-winning short film “Saturday Grace“will wrap its yearlong film festival run this December, with its final online screenings occurring at the 8th annual Chain Film Festival (December 3rd) and the inaugural Yale in Hollywood Film Festival (December 4th).
Previously, the short screened at five acclaimed festivals and two exhibitions, including the Academy Award-qualifying Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival.
“Saturday Grace“ focuses on the unexpected friendship that develops between two Black women from different walks of life –– the grief-stricken worship dancer Iyana (Natasha Walfall) and the homeless ex-Broadway dancer Lilah (Wendy Heagy) –– when they discover they both love dance.
