Ambience and Danny are engrossed in a passionate  yet peaceful Q&A discussion about how mislabeling and oversimplifying race leads to cognitive dissonance-a central theme in Ambience’s new film, Rise of the Gingerbread Man. Meanwhile, Shelby, Ambience’s assistant, quietly takes notes in the background. But just as the conversation reaches its peak, an aggressive knock interrupts their flow.

 

To their surprise, the door swings open to reveal Brice Wilder—furious after reading the script and hell-bent on confronting Ambience. As the tension builds, Brice barges in during her Zoom call with Danny, ready to unload his frustrations and give her a piece of his mind.
