I Assistant Directed a film about her! Called “Swann Queen,” written and directed by L. Miller. I think it should be out this year.

[baby daddy saja !! @ DCA 💜 @viickytv]

after all of these years, no one bothered to bring up William Dorsey Swann, an african-american born into slavery, who happened to be the first known person to self identify as the "queen-of-drag" in the united states and also lead a gay resistance group in the 1900s.

[Minnie @saintdutchess]

Another one to add.

As folks move into being more hesitant about technology and mistrusting of it you’re gonna see a need for old school tools and skillsets . It’s the reason why film photography and vinyl are becoming dedicated mediums

Wunmi Mosaku speaks on the studio almost cutting Delta slim's monologue which earned Delroy Lindo various awards and a nomination for an oscar #sinners

I learned in film school that having the confidence of a mediocre white man will get you far.

My feature was created for $20,000 and just got a distro deal. We shot it in 8 days.

all you need is audacity lol

[𝑨𝒔𝒊𝒂 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒆 @DearAsiaNicole]

Creating for yourself makes you a better artist. Because honest work connects deeper than work made to please everyone.

I accidentally started a knitting club. I worked on a scarf first, then socks, and two more coworkers have brought their socks, hats, and sweaters to work on during our down time 🥹

Someone else accidentally started a silent book club at a coffeehouse. Reading is contagious!

@thizzg843 Need the sweatshirt!

[BRI @BriMalandro]

I personally think everyone should just take a deep breath, exhale, and go watch the three part documentary “High Horse: The Black Cowboy” on Peacock right now (not just because I’m in it)

[SinnersMovie @SinnersMovie]

Crafting the sprawling and emotional “SINNERS” was a task entirely personal to Director/Writer/Producer Ryan Coogler.

With immense contributions from the film’s first-rate artisans, many of them frequent collaborators, and an incredible ensemble cast, Coogler breaks down how the team created the “I Lied To You” sequence, a soaring 6-minute performance and ode to the Blues that encompasses centuries of Black History in the longest take ever filmed in IMAX.
