“To me the industry has always said that the lovers and haters and principal characters will always be white in Hollywood, and black people will always be appendages of those kinds of dramas, or they will be comedic outlets. It will never change.” PeopleKindSaidCharacterBlackWhiteIndustryLoversDramaHollywoodBlack PeoplePrincipalOutletsNever ChangeComedic Author:Haile Gerima
“A film fable so structured that all alchemical searchings are clearly filmwise (gold being discovered cinematically in each sequence ot mixed black-and-white and color) so that when the drama-discovery is actually made, it acts as a deliberate anti-climax of aesthetic perfection.” MadeFilmBlackWhiteColorDramaDiscoveryPerfectionGoldMade ItAestheticBlack And WhiteDeliberateSequenceFablesClimax Author:Stan Brakhage
“I've really dreamed of doing television. All of us do television, coming up. But when I was coming up, television was a black hole for actors. Now, television has a certain cache. Now everybody wants to be on TV because they're doing adult dramas. If you're an actor, it's like, "Well, get me on television," because it's the only place you can do it and also make a living at it. If my kids need shoes, I better do a TV show because I damn sure don't make any money with independent films.” IfsWantNeedsWellsShowsKidsFilmCertainActorsBlackCan DoTelevisionTvsDramaAdultsIndependentShoesHolesDamnTv ShowsYou Can Do ItIndependent FilmBlack HoleCache Author:Billy Bob Thornton
