Directors Spotlight



A picture of a young Black man named Damien Hauser, standing in front of a serene blurred rich green background. He has shoulder-length dreadlocks, a neatly trimmed beard, and is wearing a dark, textured woolen sweater. His facial expression is calm, with a small, relaxed smile, and he looks directly at the camera.
