Abstract:
Celebrated as a key film in the canon of independent cinema by African-Americans in the 1990s, Bridgett M. Davis's NAKED ACTS was included in the seminal anthology "The 50 Most Influential Black Films" by S. Torriano Berry. Beautiful aspiring actor Cicely (Jake-Ann Jones) has just landed her first major role, but there's a big problem: it requires a nude scene. Her mother was a Blaxploitation star known for her sex appeal, while Cicely is a survivor of sexual assault with life-long body image issues, all of which has left her with a strong aversion to disrobing in public. Now, with the support of her boyfriend Joel (Ron Cephas Jones), she attempts to get past her fear.
