My Question to McQueen at TIFF

A brilliant answer to my question about art and cinema [10:35] at TIFF 2011 after the screening of Shame.

A History Forgotten - SDBFF 2012

A History Forgotten is an official selection of the San Diego Black Film Festival , to be screened this January.

Why aren't they're more Black directors and actors?

Brilliant answer from a brilliant artist. McQueen is by far my favorite contemporary director, not only because of his sheer talent but because he is conscious of his craft and the realities within and without it. The reality for Blacks/Latinos in important roles in the film industry is sad but very true but we must acknowledge it, bring it to the forefront so that it may be addressed.

Patience - a profound message

Gracias a la vida!

11-11-11 (New Visions)

An interesting date to announce that I am in the early development stages of a feature film (biopic) based on a legendary African freedom fighter. This is a film that I hope will be my official feature film debut in the festival and/or theatrical settings. I believe that the timing is ripe for a film involving freedom struggles, given the current political climates domestic and abroad. More info as I move along.
