@debramchase advocates for creators to consume all mediums of culture and art, and if you can âsee the world. #womenshistorymonth
âIn the past few years, it seems a floodgate has opened, releasing a deluge of tremendously successful media that centers the Black experience. âGet Out,â âBlack Panther,â and HBOâs âWatchmenâ are just some of the big-budget prestige projects that have drawn huge audiences and dominated the cultural conversation. The New Yorker Radio Hour looks at this moment in Black entertainment and investigates the industry forces behind it in a special episode, produced by Ngofeen Mputubwele. Barry Jenkins, the director of âMoonlight,â talks about how Barack Obamaâs Presidency opened doors for Black creators. A film scholar recounts the history of the complicated relationship between studios and Black audiences. And the actor Sheryl Lee Ralph looks at whatâs changed in Hollywood in the decades since her first film role, opposite Sidney Poitierâ Tap the link in our stories to read this @newyorkermag story about how Black creators and audiences have bailed out the industry time and time again.

đ¨ Repost đ¨ @bad_robot + The Black List (@theblcklst) are thrilled to announce their partnership to provide 500 writers from historically underrepresented communities with blcklst.com access! Eligible writers will receive a free month of hosting + a free script evaluation.
@bad_robot will work with several community organizations to distribute 400 fee waivers directly to writers:
@aitaf
Barcid Foundation
@the_blackhouse
@goldhouseco
@thelatinxhouse
@outfest
@respecttheability
@womeninfilm
Additionally, The Black List will also distribute 100 fee waivers to writers from underrepresented communities who are already a part of the blcklst.com ecosystem - these writers will be contacted privately and receive their fee waivers directly from The Black List.
Interested writers who qualify as being a part of an underrepresented community per WGA guidelines are encouraged to contact a partner organization for a waiver; distribution will be entirely up to each organizationâs discretion. Please, be thoughtful when contacting partners.
This new program hopes to provide writers with access, opportunities, and feedback for their original work that they may not otherwise be able to acquire. For more info, check out the link http://blcklst.com/help/article/662
Thank you to @bad_robot for partnering with us on this amazing project for writers!

âThe truth is that only recently have Black women been given the space to be seen, heard and valued, which is why itâs now more important than ever to celebrate the fullness of what it means to be a Black woman.â - @arianadebose is the first openly queer Afro Latina to be nominated for an Oscar for her star making performance as Anita in Steven Spielbergâs West Side Story. #blackhistorymonth #representationmatters #oscars

â @thandienewton finally gets a role she can really sink her teeth into with Godâs Country, a disturbing, unusually class-and-race-conscious modern Western that paints a pretty despairing view of human relations in red state America. Methodically paced and dominated by negative emotions all around, director/co-writer Julian Higgins takes his own sweet time exploring the troubling, unfriendly mindsets on both sides of the fence. Fences, in fact, would have been a very apt title for this quietly simmering study of people who bring little but ill-will to the tableâ - @deadline #sundance #sundance2022
In the @morereginahall starrer, @indiewire punctuates the powerful #Sundance2022 entrant here: A twisting tale that combines elements of âCandyman,â âThe Shiningâ and âGet Out,â Mariama Dialloâs âMasterâ isnât the kind of traumatic horror film that interrogates racism solely as a fright in itself. Diallo is too smart for that. This mesmerizing freak out, a psychologically brutal witch and ghost story, pulls in viewers with smart writing, and even more brilliant performances. It explicates colorism, racial passing, micro-aggressions, and the crushing pressures of Black Excellence not as history-teaching, example-making cudgels, but as illnesses that live and breathe beneath and above the surface of Americaâ learn about why Regina took on this role and working with @mariama by checking out her #Blackhouse panel from last weekend using the link in our bio and stories.
Congratulations to @participantâs feature documentary #Descendant, on winning the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award: Creative Vision at @sundanceorg
Higher Ground, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obamaâs production company, will present the film alongside Netflix. Watch our panel with the filmmakers including director Margaret Brown and producer @questlove using the link in our bio.
âDescendant, from director Margaret Brown, follows members of Africatown, a small community in Alabama, as they share their personal stories and community history as descendants of the Clotilda, the last known slave ship to illegally transport human beings as cargo from Africa to America. The shipâs existence, a centuries-old open secret, is confirmed by a team of marine archeologists. The film explores implications of the Clotildaâs discovery for the descendants, who grapple with their heritage while claiming the power to shape their own destiniesâ - @deadline #sundance #sundance
âBased on a true story, Brian Brown-Easley (Boyega) was a former Marine who stopped receiving disability checks after being rerouted by the VA to pay off another debt (an error on their part that is addressed later in the film). Brown-Easley, on the brink of homelessness and struggling to return to civilian life, enters a bank and claims he has a bomb to its remaining two employees, Estel Valerie (Nicole Beharie) and Rosa Diaz (Selenis Leyva). While he couldâve asked for the bank to give him what the VA owes him â $892 â Brown-Easley wants to have an audience with the media so that he can explain the mistreatment of a department that should have helped him.â - @screenrant @johnboyega

Chronicling two decades of the rapper, producer, innovator, rabble rousing musical genius, #JeenYuhs is a sprawling epic told in 3 parts about Kanye Westâs drive and determination to be the greatest through the eyes of collaborators and documentarians @officialcoodieandchike. One part journal/one part manifesto, we witness the ascent of the cult of Ye as told by the artist himself. #sundancefilmfestival @kanyewest @sundanceorg
Kobe & Gigi remain forever in our hearts. Continued love to Vanessa, your girls and all of the families of the lives lost. đ¤
