“The Threesome,” was hands-down the most polarizing film shown at the inaugural Oak Park Black Film Festival held Sept. 7-11 at the Guild Theater.

The sex comedy tells the story of two Black women and one Black man on the night of a threesome. Loaded with internal dialogue revealing deflected insecurities, the film climaxes with a slapstick sex scene that had the audience both blushing and laughing uncontrollably.

While 81% of Americans have never had a threesome , African Americans were more likely to have engaged in threesomes when compared to their White, Latino, and Asian counterparts. The study also found that adults 65 and older had lower rates of threesomes.

While “The Threesome” received mixed reviews from an audience consisting largely of baby boomers, it was the film that set the festival in motion. Dedeaux was the first to commit to showing his film in Sacramento.
