some news: today, i’m excited to launch https://t.co/lznpLOtC9b. this ever-expanding black film archive provides history and context to over 200 black films made from 1915 to 1979 currently streaming.
every description on the site is lovingly written & researched by me.
as “is god is” opens in cinemas today, it marks a grand debut & moment: aleshea harris is on an unprecedented path in hollywood as a black woman directing/writing a film adaption of her own stage play.

@Slangdini@detroitplair + i also want to note this film was originally at A24 with scott rudin as producer… a miracle in many ways… a combo of countless factors.
@Slangdini@detroitplair absolutely a real q. in our discussion she gave credit to her producers (all women) / studio (orion is currently the only helmed by a BW) for giving her the full confidence to create a world of her design…. to say it is a rarity in hollywood feels like an understatement. +
@stalesmcgalesss@TheCut ❤️🔥 just as we reflect on kasi lemmons's "eve's bayou" as a major debut, i believe we will be reflecitng on this moment with similar affection. a great film!
what will it mean if “sinners” (2025) wins best picture at tonight’s oscars?
angelica jade bastién and i answer the question of the moment for @vulture.

Once ‘Sinners’ became the most-nominated movie in Oscars history, supporting the film’s awards chances began to feel like a civic duty. But as Angelica Jade Bastién & Maya S. Cade write, the Academy needs ‘Sinners’ more than it needs a win. https://t.co/bl5z6ziePN
