Academy-Award Winner Kevin Willmott and Trai Byers Discuss '24th', Black Historical Dramas, Getting Latinx Films Greenlit and Why "History Owns Us"
"We don't own history, the history owns us," “POV is critical to storytelling in history,” “I had a producer literally tell me once, ‘white people don’t want to see movies where all the white people are bad,” “The promise of America and the reality of America... that’s what '24th' is all about.” These are some of the quotes you'll hear in this latest episode of 'Brown & Black' where our features guests are Academy-Award winning writer Kevin Willmott (director, writer, producer '24th') and Trai Byers from FOX's 'Empire' (actor, writer, producer '24th') discuss the difficulties of getting '24th' made, why Black historical dramas are crucial to the storytelling of America, as well as why he feels Latinx movies don't get made in Hollywood and what he suggests Latinx filmmakers do about it.
Jack and Mike also discuss the significance and legacy of Chadwick Boseman who died at age 43 from colon cancer.
