American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone

It Gets Dangerous When You Start Allowing People To Validate Your Work.

I Decided To Be A Filmmaker Between My Sophomore And Junior Years At Morehouse. Before I Left For The Summer Of 1977, My Advisor Told Me I Really Had To Declare A Major When I Came Back, Because I'd Used All My Electives In My First Two Years. I Went Back To New York And I Couldn't Find A Job. There Were None To Be Had. And That Previous Christmas Someone Gave Me A Super-8 Camera, So I Just Started To Shoot Stuff.

I Get Offered To Do Stuff Where The Money's Nice But It's Not Something I Want To Do - I Get Offered A Lot Of Commercials Too.

I Tend To Favour Films That Have Multiple Plot And Story Lines, Multiple Characters And Ensemble Pieces.

People Of Color Have A Constant Frustration Of Not Being Represented, Or Being Misrepresented, And These Images Go Around The World.
