 And here is the finished work. I tried my best to convey my idea and make it so that it seems like an interesting enough setup for a full film. Enjoy!

Ethnic Groups

Ethnic groups are gaining more representation in media. Minorities, especially African Americans, have received more roles in film in the past years.
