Watch the trailer for @HORRORNOIREFILM, my @Shudder documentary, premiering in Feb 2019. Our film examines the history of Black Americans in the most influential genre of cinema today. This is my first feature length film & I'm unbelievably proud of what we've made #HorrorNoire
I recommend everyone check out all the films we talk about in @horrornoirefilm. If you need a starting point, here’s a couple we discuss in our documentary to start your journey into black horror.
It’s important to see black filmmakers control their narratives within horror. Without their unique perspective, a slew of auteur, groundbreaking films would’ve never been made.
Bill Gun - Ganja & Hess
Jordan Peele - Get Out
Kasi Lemmons - Eve’s Bayou
William Crain - Blacula
FILMMAKERS! TODAY We Are Moving Stories focuses on the most entertaining, powerful and inspiring BLACK WOMEN'S VOICES from our 3000 drama, documentary, short and feature length films. Pic: WOMAN OUTSIDE starring @YolondaRoss

@HorrorMovieCast Thank you for your statement and checking out our doc. Honestly, it's really been amazing to see just how supportive the horror community is with creators.
Just wanted to say it’s appreciated you stuck to your principles on this. It’s never great when you lose a fan, but if being pro-black lives would cause someone to stop supporting you, that’s not a fan you should ever want anyway.
Hey, Shudder. You lost this subscriber due to our ep in support of #BLM (🔈 https://t.co/6JhS8mYYkb) with folks like the Producer of Horror Noire and Writer of Final Destination speaking on horrors facing Black Americans. We stand by the ep and are confident we have your support.
I'm also recommending you research and contact @diversencannes too. It's an amazing program ran by Yolanda B., who's made it a part of her mission to help emerging filmmakers of color. Also, she's the person who told me about the opportunity above.

To all my filmmakers: @Berlin_Talents, The Berlin International Film Festival's talent development program for emerging filmmakers and series creator is open to submit.
I highly recommend any creators who are looking for development programs check it.

@msdanifernandez Lmfao lowkey I wish reading it wasn’t so hilarious but I just keep imagining how they typed this up and I have no doubt they were absolutely livid
Foundation alum & Development Executive at @MoonbugEnt, Daniel Barnes, discusses the importance of representation on TV for kids, how the Foundation's Internship Program kickstarted his career, and more: https://t.co/FUWYT6FXvz
Big ups to everyone that spoke on the panel. As a filmmaker, it's great to hear from black animators/creators who are dealing with many of the same obstacles. It's even better when you get to hear about their success & triumphs as well.
Right now, @Netflix is hosting a panel with black creatives in the animation industry. It's dope hearing all of these people speak up about their experience. If you've got some time right now, I def recommend hopping on to listen.
