While innovations in technology have made it easier than ever to make a movie, it has become harder than ever to receive significant financial backing. Doubly hard when one is a director of an underrepresented background.
Black Americans have been a part of the film industry since the beginning, over a century ago, but one could argue that there were not any Black film directors given enough of a platform to become a household name until the 1990s. Though a diverse set of directors were able to breakthrough from that time through the aughts, the shift

Every movie is a documentary of its making. Or a documentary of what the makers want you to believe about that making, about where it was made. Make enough movies in the same place over time and you get a history, a collection of narratives linked by location. What does that history say about that place?
