Medicine for Melancholy is a love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-somethings dealing with issues of class, identity, and the evolving conundrum of being a minority in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco—a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city. Starring Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show, King of the Hill), Tracey Heggins (Journeyman, Sacred Journey) and a great soundtrack. The film was shot by a crew of six in three weeks entirely in the city of San Francisco. 2008 Gotham Independent Film Awards Nominee - Breakthrough Director2009 Independent Spirit Awards Nominee - Best Cinematography/Best First Feature/Someone to Watch “It's a quiet, funny, beautifully photographed film that you should definitely check out.” - Matthew Smith, The Austinist “Sometimes I feel like I've seen too many movies about the problems of contemporary twenty-somethings and their relationships, but Medicine for Melancholy is deeper, more thoughtful, and more satisfying than many low-budget first features,”- Jette Kernion, Cinematica " The film will not only inspire and ignite great discussions among the African-American community, but is sure to engage audiences across the globe."
