With STRANGE DAYS Fever sweeping America, I wrote about Kathryn Bigelow’s mad vision of Y2K apocalyptica (and even got to talk a little bit about the delectably stupid TV movie COUNTDOWN TO CHAOS): downtime.jambys.com/posts/downtime…

As Chair of this prize, I couldn't be more delighted that we chose Cherise Morris with her gem of a manuscript, the cosmic matter of black lives! Look out for it when Cassava Republic publishes it!

Idk, when Ryan Coogler knew he needed Wunmi Mosaku in one of his films, but the moment I witnessed Wunmi’s grace was on Lovecraft Country, and I couldn’t get enough. I am so happy she’s a part of “SINNERS,” & I can’t wait to support the film… give momma her thingssssss💐

Wunmi Mosaku as Annie in Sinners was such a moment. To see her go from the Netflix film His House (my favorite horror film of 2020) to the big screen was magical. MOTHER in every sense of the word. ✨

Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is the only horror film in 35 years to receive an A CinemaScore.

Ryan Coogler read Amiri Baraka’s ‘Blues People’ before writing the Sinners script. In Imani Perry’s latest book (Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People), she also references Baraka’s ‘Blues People.’ Amiri in IMAX. Amiri on new shelves. Amiri’s still breathing.

I wrote about Noah Davis & his reanimation of the photographic archive for Émergent magazine. Noah absorbs you in the magic of the detail, detaching images from their socio-political weight. Read here: emergentmag.com/articles/the-b… If you're looking for an Easter show, this is it!
