“HOT SEAT”
Written by Victoria Lino
Directed by Leandra Torres Santiago
HOT SEAT begins on Harlem's hottest day of the year. As Essence reaches for a connection to her late grandmother's spirit, she finds herself confronting the past and present when her two best friends stop by to express their belated condolences. As tensions rise between friends, grief turns to revelation, and long-kept secrets come to light.
