Films by Black Creators - Reaction Shots Discussion Prompt
Added 2020-06-04 22:56:02 +0000 UTCAfter the murder of George Floyd, ongoing protests, and so many other events lately and throughout the years I felt compelled to make this month's episode focus on films by black creators and that highlight the black experience. This is obviously something outside my own realm of experience that I appreciate simply as a film fan, so to allow more time for study and to incorporate Spike Lee's new film, Da 5 Bloods, which releases on Netflix June 12th we're going to delay this episode by one week. So it will go public on June 19th. I also hope to have a guest or guests on that can speak from both a place of a love of film and lived experience. Thanks for your understanding in that delay. <3 Ian
