It’s , and in honor of the theatrical release of Candyman today, we are highlighting Nia Da’Costa!

Nia Da’Costa is an American director and screenwriter. She wrote and directed the crime thriller film Little Woods, winning the Nora Ephron Prize at the Tribeca Film Festival. She also directed the upcoming horror film Candyman. In August 2020, Da’Costa was hired to direct The Marvels, becoming the youngest filmmaker to direct a Marvel film, beating the record set by Ryan Coogler.

After finishing school and working as a TV production assistant, Da’Costa’s script for Little Woods was one of the 12 projects chosen for the 2015 Sundance Screenwriters and Directors Labs. Da’Costa funded a short film version of what would eventually become her first feature film through Kickstarter.

The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2018, and was awarded the Nora Ephron award for “excellence in storytelling by a female writer or director.” It was then bought by Neon and distributed through North America in April 2019. Da’Costa cites Debrah Granik’s Winter’s Bone and Courtney Hunt’s Frozen River as being her main sources of inspiration for the script, as she feels that their films relay amazing performances and tense drama, yet tackle real issues in America. In a 2018 interview with FF2 Media, Da’Costa stated the importance to her of telling the stories of “women...who are active” rather than passive figures in movies led by men.

It was announced in late 2018 that Da’Costa was chosen to helm what has been described as a spiritual sequel to the original Candyman. The film is said to return to the Chicago neighborhood where the legend began, yet it is now gentrified. The film is being produced by Jordan Peele through Monkeypaw Productions, with Peele citing the original as “a landmark film for Black representation in the horror genre.”

Who all is planning to see this weekend? 🙋🏾‍♀️🖤🙌🏾
