The film tells the story of Clay, a successful Black businessman navigating an identity crisis, who encounters Lula, a mysterious white woman, in a psychologically charged encounter on a New York subway. The narrative is a haunting exploration of race, power, and societal tension—brought to life with urgent relevance for today's audiences.

With his background in data science and venture capital, Gosier has become a pioneer in rethinking how films are financed, democratizing access to capital, and empowering underrepresented voices in entertainment.

"Southbox was founded to be more than a checkbook—it's a strategic partner that sits at the intersection of tech, culture, and creativity," said Gosier.
