Conversation with Filmmaker B. Monét
I want to thank Real Dads Network 12th Annual Daddy Daughter Dance in Harlem sponsoring (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/daddy-daughter-dance-tickets-763759213367?aff=oddtdtcreator) my conversation with Award Winning Director/Producer, Photographer, World Traveler, & Amazing Human Being B. Monét.
B. Monét is a distinguished writer and director who obtained her B.A. in English from Spelman
College and an MFA in Film and Television with a concentration in writing and directing from New
York University. She is a native of Maryland and her films are known for their thought-provoking
questions about identity, society, race, and culture. Her commitment to showcasing
underrepresented people in film, media, and television is evident in her works.
She’s received several awards, including the runner-up position in the First Time Female Filmmakers
Contest with Women and Hollywood, the 2017 Horizon Award through Cassian Elwes, Christine
Vachon, and Lynette Howell-Taylor at the Sundance Film Festival, and the Adrienne Shelly
Foundation grant. She also participated in Film Independent's residency program Project Involve as
a directing fellow.
B. Monét is one of the winners of the #NewView Film Competition with Glamour and Girlgaze, which
celebrates the voices of female filmmakers, and one of the filmmakers in the Tisch Other Showcase,
which focuses on diverse artists whose voices are underrepresented in the television industry.
Notably, B. Monét directed the award-winning short film Q.U.E.E.N., which premiered on Magic
Johnson's channel ASPiRE and has been screened at over a dozen festivals, including Cannes
Short Film Corner.
She also directed a branded short film entitled “She’s Revolutionary” on the #MeToo founder Tarana
Burke for Levi’s and Girlgaze, and has worked with several high-profile personalities such as Reese
Witherspoon, Janet Jackson, Rosario Dawson, Chika, Rapsody, and Shangela for brands such as
Crate and Barrel, Estee Lauder, Uber, OkayAfrica, OkayPlayer, and Hyundai. B. Monét's feature film
script Q.U.E.E.N. won the 2018 Best Graduate Feature Screenplay, and she is the recipient of the
Will & Jada Smith Family Foundation grant at Fusion Film Festival, a finalist in the Women in Film
Mini Upfronts Program, and a Sundance Women’s Financing Intensive Project Fellow.
In July 2019, she was selected as one of the filmmakers in the New York Stage and Film
Filmmakers' Workshop at Vassar College for Q.U.E.E.N. She was also selected as one of the
participants in the Artist Academy with the New York Film Festival and Lincoln Center. B. Monét's
most recent accomplishment is being chosen as one of the winners for the Queen Collective in
partnership with Queen Latifah, Tribeca, and P&G. Her short film Ballet After Dark is exclusively
streaming on BET. Additionally, she is currently reimagining a short film version of A Star Is Born with Warner Brothers for their 100th Anniversary.
