Forward Thinking 2025

Directed by Antonio Harper

James worries about a future in which he is not around to support his family, and so, in hopes to protect their financial future he applies for life insurance in the form of trademarking his likeness at Triple K Law office. James realizes, in the event of his untimely death by the hands of police brutality, his face and likeness will be at the forefront of yet another civil outcry, with proceeds from use of his likeness going to his family. The perfect life insurance for a Black man in America. But first, he needs to get his application approved, and to do that he needs to navigate a branch manager, a paralegal “white ally” named Dwayne, and the final boss Mrs. K.
