Filmmaker Ashley O’Shay’s late grandfather, Melvin Lewis, was a proud father of 17 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Weaving together memories of Melvin’s living descendents, Southmont documents the family’s journey to reclaim their father’s home, examining a Black family’s plight in the small-town South and their determination to have a gathering space.

Southmont Drive is a participant of the 2024 (Egg)celerator Lab.
