A great commentary. Luckily, “The Summer is Mine” satire about rap beef and class inequality will continue the legacy of great Black American satires! https://t.co/TaHUGW1Hdc

The Summer is Mine, our very fun feature film satire script about a rap beef between two women rappers and class inequality in NYC is a semi-finalist in the Stowe Story Labs/ SAGindie fellowship! Let's get this story made!

@thumbelulu Central was amazing but the finale was quite exquisite. Brava!!!!

[LaDarrion Williams @ItsLaDarrion]

It took me a long time to come to terms that these screenwriting fellowships are not my path. They want Black stories—but they have to be very specific. Like a insecure or dating in LA type. And it take so much time and energy, sometimes money to apply to them.

I just stopped.

@ItsLaDarrion We have one ready to go for her! Maya vs. Settling. Ranked in top 15% of 2019 Nicholls! Let’s go @Lupita_Nyongo!!!

@LisaLueyLutes @kelleent You bring up a serious and under-considered question. The composition of the judges matter. Diversity matters for obvious ass reasons.

My film The Island is out today! Please support indie black filmmakers check it out! It would mean the world to me if you liked and shared it with all your horror lover friends!

[blackSTORY @blackSTORYfilms]

Movie recommendation for filmmakers: Margot at the wedding (Netflix). To be studied for its robust and naturalistic dialogue, and incredible seamless acting.

[blackSTORY @blackSTORYfilms]

You’d think a ready-to-shoot feature film satire script about a rap beef between two women rappers would be getting some love right about now. Where are my producers waiting to be attached?? #hiss

This show is perfection out the gate! #champion

Make sure you check out CHAMPION on Netflix. Created and written by British writer Candice Carty-Williams.

Set in South London, it focuses on the musical rivalry between two up-and-coming musicians, siblings Bosco and Vita Champion, and the ramifications and fallout of which

@BarackObama Wow! Glad to see polite society getting a very important endorsement! It’s one of the most original films I’ve ever seen

White male leads don't equal box office success. But executives and studios are still biased. https://t.co/Pbnujr01sH

A Thousand and One will shatter your heart & with a third act mic drop that completely changes the story it only becomes more devastating. A strong debut from A.V ROCKWELL! Teyana Taylor is stellar, William Catlett changes the dynamic, & Josiah Cross is the heart of it all

Not enough people are talking about the thrilling Cinnamon movie on tubi. Well done @ALTHORROR!

SAG Waivers-
(Thread)

Im not against the filmmakers themselves taking it- as SAG is giving em out. i dont think individually abstaining from getting them will to help. If all indies r doin that w SAG, my movie will.

BUT- I think SAG is making a GRAVE mistake by giving them out.

Let’s talk about how many of the diversity leaders have left/been laid off within the last two weeks. This is crazy.
