Written and directed by Felicia Pride, tender is Pride’s directorial debut and first project out of Pride’s Gen-X focused production company, Felix & Annie, which is named after her parents.
The short film first premiered at the 2020 Outfest Fusion and is now available to screen online.
After an unexpected one night stand, two women (Farelle Walker and Trishauna Clarke) at very different stages of their lives, share an even more intimate morning after.
tender is a simple story about the bonds between Black women. The film sets out to capture the power of bonds shared between Black women and explores emotional intimacy, sexuality, and loss, from a Black woman lens, which we don’t see nearly enough. tender is also about how we can find both joy and connection in unlikely places — if we allow ourselves to.
