Person Woman Man Camera TV is a tragicomedy about romance, race, and remembering, cutting between the first day and last night of an interracial couple’s 7-year relationship. Samuel, a black man who has just lost his father to Alzheimer’s, meets Samantha, a white woman whom he hires to help him clean his parents' home. As they sort through the physical and emotional detritus of loss, they begin to form a bond. Scenes from the day of their first meeting in 2013 are interspersed with the night in 2020, when their marriage disintegrates. As they sift through lifetimes of things, they reveal themselves, their desires, and their differing relationships to the notion of “freedom."
