Direector Ingrid Woode
“Cake Walk surfaces the often-hidden labor of Black women who built American music, connecting the studio legends of the 1960s to today’s classrooms and conservatories. Geneva’s story reframes success not as spotless triumph, but as faith-anchored practice: mixing bitter and sweet into something that nourishes others.”

What if you could step back into a memory, not just remember it, but be there again? I captured a live performance of my mother playing in a way that lets YOU sit and watch her play immersed back into that exact moment inside a 360 video in VR .
