This week host Rachael Weinberg speaks to A’lexiz Dennis about two films from her childhood: Waiting to Exhale and Set It Off. Dennis talks about how these films that influenced her as a filmmaker were a household staple and about the thesis film she’s directing this fall. The two share their love for Jada Pinkett Smith and discuss how black women are represented in film.
