“Don’t let anyone tell you, you are half anything.” - Dean Atta

Multiraciality is a short film that explores the everyday realities of multiracial America, moving beyond surface labels and statistics to reveal the complexities that come with navigating more than one racial background. Through a single narrator, it dives into the emotions, contradictions, and quiet negotiations that shape identity. The film highlights both the beauty and the tension of this experience—from family traditions to questions of belonging, perception, and authenticity linger in the everyday.
