LIVING INHERITANCE

Film by LAUR X BILLIE

Concept, Direction, Styling by LAUR

Shot, Edited, Directed by Laneya Billingsley (BILLIE)

Living Inheritance, Short Film (Excerpt), premiered at Roxie Theater, San Francisco, Summer 2025, screened at SFMOMA, Fall 2025

On the eve of their Mother’s 10-year death anniversary, Laur confronts themselves, their Mother, Gloria, and the voices of queer family through multiple realms, physical and unseen.

Watch as Laur toggles through the multidimensional threadings of time, memory, and legacy, examining what is left for us during, through, and after moments of transcendence or end. Bouncing between both internal and external realities, this meditative piece takes the viewer on a visceral, textural, and sonically driven spiritual journey that asks us how to recover and maintain hope in the face of change and loss while your inheritance becomes YOU.
