Drama, Short Films, 22-Oct-2025
A biracial student and sex worker confronts the difference in her lifestyle between night and day. Crosbie Roper directs and stars in “Epinephrine,” a psychological-horror piece processing racial identity, trauma, and sex-work. During the day, “Lil Bit” goes to class to study architecture. In the evening, she dances at a club. As the two lives begin to blur, the young woman finds herself caught in dissociative episodes—images of decaying livestock flicker on an abstract television screen, at a dinner table with black friends she’s prompted to weigh in on her “blackness,” and, in class, the criticism of her peers and professor gets nastier. The haunting personifies itself into a dark figure, and getting closer to her breaking point, she must challenge it. Roper, who also takes the screen as the film’s lead, commits to a vulnerable performance showing much range in a character pulled between two worlds. -JM. Director: Crosbie Roper.
