This Week I have filmmakers Celia Peters, Hilton J Day, Benjamin Mullholland, and comedienne Ambitious Mae.  The Guests talked about being black and on a film set and also what it would take to make stories not only from an Africentric point of view but taking it to the world stage (or screen) as we discussed the possibilities of making films about prominent historical figures from ancient Egypt and the African continent.  I definitely enjoyed catching up with these wonderful people.  Enjoy!

We have 100 years of cinema with 99% of everyone on camera being a certain color, I’m hoping to be a part of the change that’s coming, where we start to see people of all backgrounds be represented in our films. I’m currently working on my first feature film, The Alternate, which we will be shooting in the fall of 2019.  You can also check out our collaboration, The Rage.   Subscribe to be a Patreon member You can check me out on my website at ljeffreymoore.com Twitter:  @ljeffreymoore Instagram:  @Lj_presents_podcast Music Featured on the Show: Intro  I dunno by grapes (c) copyright 2008 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.  http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/grapes/16626 Ft: J Lang, Morusque  Outro  The Vendetta by Stefan Kartenberg (c) copyright 2018 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.  http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/JeffSpeed68/58628 Ft: Apoxode
