Dust & Static
In 1937 Oklahoma City, a hardened Black photographer documenting the Dust Bowl and the burgeoning jazz scene stumbles upon a conspiracy linking a string of unsolved murders to a powerful oil baron exploiting desperate landowners, forcing him to navigate a treacherous landscape of racial prejudice, political corruption, and forgotten blues magic while battling his own haunted past and the ghosts of those swallowed by the prairie winds.

Dust & Static, 1937 Oklahoma City, a lone Black photographer silhouetted against a swirling dust storm and the faint glow of a jazz club neon sign, holding a vintage camera, gritty texture, film noir lighting, subtle ghostly figures blending with the dust, oil derricks in the hazy background, desaturated colors with pops of deep blues and reds, dramatic composition, evocative of Dorothea Lange and Gordon Parks, title prominently displayed, tagline: "Some stories the wind won't let rest."
