OTV | Open Television is a non-profit platform for intersectional television. We incubate, distribute, and exhibit artists that commercial television networks and art institutions do not develop consistently: artists who identify with multiple identities marginalized by the market and society. OTV experiments with alternative ways to develop, produce, and exhibit art and television. Our programs center artistic expression, intersectionality, Chicago and digital networking.
Wake Up, Jaleela is a short film about a girl trapped in a nightmare determined to wake up. In order to escape the dream, she embarks on a journey that challenges her to reasses the waking world.
