BESLA Annual Film Finalist

Denver Humphrey

Find Me in the Void

Movie Synopsis

Find Me in the Void was inspired by my own personal experience and the reality that so many Black girls’ stories go untold. I wanted to reimagine the Missing Black Girl narrative, not as one of tragedy alone, but as a story of resilience, friendship, and reclaiming one’s agency. Through this film, we’re not just telling a supernatural story—we’re spotlighting a crisis that deserves national attention. I’m honored to lead this project and invite you into this world we created.

Biography

Denver Humphrey is a 17-year-old award-winning storyteller, filmmaker, and advocate. A dynamic creative voice, Denver uses storytelling to center underrepresented narratives and spark conversations around identity, resilience, and justice for marginalized communities. Find Me in the Void marks her directorial debut—a supernatural mystery inspired by a personal experience and the staggering statistic that over 90,000 Black women and girls go missing every year. The film reimagines this narrative through the lens of sisterhood, astral projection, and self-determination.
