"Wilted Greens", is the premiere episode of Roux, a Southern Gothic Horror series. This film explores the sacred collision where memory, history, grief, and ancestral storytelling braid into one layered experience. The series bears witness to American historical tragedies that have carved themselves into the present—seen through the tender, complex, and often overlooked lens of African American boys. Wilted Greens centers on Savannah’s intimate reckoning with inherited grief, as she navigates the weight of historical trauma that continues to echo through the lives of African Americans and the collective memory of this nation. Through layered cinematic narration, evocative design, striking visual art, and intentional direction, this work immerses viewers in a world where the whispers of the past refuse silence—where memory is not passive, but alive and insistent. Roux invites the question: what happens when the grief of our martyrs becomes too loud, too present, and too sacred to ignore?
