Talk about creativity!
A collective of Black creatives has returned with part two of their imaginative short film series, Mechanical Pencil. In Mechanical Pencil #2, a student named Hurrikane drifts off in class and dreams up a world where the classroom transforms into a full-on dance floor.
The short was led by Amari K. Jones, who created, produced, and co-directed, drawing inspiration from classic films and nostalgic school-day memories.
The team first made waves in March with their debut short, where a group of detention regulars turned punishment into a creative playground—complete with old-school rap and pencil-desk beat-making.

From choreography to concept, this crew continues to show what’s possible when creativity meets culture and a little imagination.
