The Healing Ingredient

The Healing Ingredient” is a short 12-minute rom-com. Chloe (Gabrielle Reyes), a nutritionist with a biting sense of humor, and Marcus (Ace Anderson), a struggling stand-up comedian, have both faced loss and are grappling with their own personal challenges. Their paths first cross in a busy city coffee shop, leading to a memorable encounter filled with sarcasm and comedic frustration. The film takes a deeper turn when they reunite in an unexpected place: a grief support group. As they navigate through their personal struggles and losses, a unique and compelling friendship blossoms. This film is a warm and humor-filled exploration of grief, healing, and the unexpected ways people can help one another overcome life’s obstacles. “The Healing Ingredient” Premiered at the 2023 Juneteenth Experience in Miami!
