The Conscious Subconscious of a Black American is an ode to W.E.B. DuBois’ theory on “double consciousness.”
In a country of oppressive social norms, including microaggressions, coded language, and performance politics, it is not guaranteed that a Black person can speak their truth freely, especially in mixed company. In this short film concept written by Cyrus Aaron, and directed by Michael Oloyede, the characters do something extraordinarily radical, they let their subsconscious do all the talking without holding anything back.
