Hollywood Black is such an excellent documentary on Amazon Prime. 10/10

[Victoria Renee 👑 @VictoriaRenee23]

Y’all need to watch Justin Simien’s #HollywoodBlack before it leaves Amazon Prime at the end of the month. Filmmakers, especially Black filmmakers, need to watch it.
K, love ya, bye! ✊🏾😘✌🏾

If you love Black film and want to learn more about the history and impact of Black film -- how it made Hollywood, how it's been counterculture, how it's been co-opted, and where it is today -- I would recommend #HollywoodBlack.

#HauntedMansion is the biggest surprise of the year! It’s laugh out loud funny, spooky & explores layered themes of grief & loss. I love that it examines that journey particularly for Black men & boys. Truly impressive ghostly effects & movie magic. A perfect film for the family!

Happy to report #HauntedMansion is one of those family films that will spook kids, make adults laugh (a lot), and fans of the ride will keep pointing at the screen because it’s loaded with Easter eggs. Director Justin Simien & screenwriter Katie Dippold did great work.

The strike has unleashed an opportunity for studios to cut costs at writers’ expense - a “very reasonable terror,” @CultureMachine_’s Justin Simien tells TheWrap https://t.co/vagyJ9ObD3

[Brian Welk @brianwelk]

ICYMI from over the weekend, I interviewed "Dear White People" creator Justin Simien about the effect the strike and the suspension of many writers' overall deals has on others in the industry and why he launched a GoFundMe for his @CultureMachine_ team. https://t.co/xXqzeYiaxw

Many of the major tv/film studios are using the writer's strike as grounds to abruptly suspend overall deals, leaving small production companies like Culture Machine and their employees in sudden financial free-fall — and no one’s talking about it🧐

Hi it’s Justin 😮‍💨I need your help… I’m raising emergency funds for Culture Machine (link in bio), the company behind Dear White People. The studios suspended overall deals (our main source of financing) in response to the writers strike and I’ve privately been in triage mode.
