A portrait, essay, and poem: Speak! features 2023 US Beat Poet Laureate Rich Ferguson, percussionist Butch Norton, and the broader Los Angeles spoken word community.

From hearing ghost stories on a Southern porch to a chance encounter with Ginsberg, the film explores the power and poetry of voice through rhythms, sound, and light. Across 13 minutes, the film is designed for the theater - the magic of only what entering a world in a dark room with others can offer.

Premiering in festivals in 2026.
