Out of Tune

Directed by AFI alum & Project Involve Fellow Portlynn Tagavi. Written by SAG-Aftra actress Erika Hamilton. The 2020 Page Award winning, awkwardly personal script about a proud Black woman, who after a childhood incident, hides her love for the classic rock band Journey.

OUT OF TUNE screened nationally to rave reviews. From the historic Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival to Sun Valley Film Festival. Audiences of all hues and generations sang along and were eager to share personal stories of when they too felt at odds with themselves & their community. In the process, we won 3 audience awards. And as mentioned above, the script itself took Gold amongst over 8,000 submissions in the Page International Screenwriting Awards. The comment we received most — “What’s the next chapter for these characters? I want to see more.”
