ABOUT THE EVENT

Captured by Emmy® Award Winning cinematographer Herb Maximo, this visual album experience, more than simply a video anthology, will feature a cinematic retelling of Deejay Young’s PRIMITIVE album, which debuted atop iTunes’ R&B albums chart in the U.S. (#4: peak) HISstory will also feature elements of intimate dialogue, original spoken word, originally written by Young, & behind the scenes footage inspired by the music from the album.

HISstory: PRIMITIVE chronicles the importance of self-love & the appreciation of black culture, all the while breaking the normalized, day-to-day social constructs of life by promoting love, freedom & liberation.

Young, also the choreographer, executive producer & co-director of this visual experience, assures viewers that love is “the cure” for what the world is in need of, & hopes this film is a step in that direction— sharing our experiences on our journey to love, which is a freedom, liberating us towards not only a better tomorrow, but a better lifetime.
