Update: 2023-03-28
Description
I remember listening to "The 1619 Project" podcast during the pandemic and being enamored with the quality of storytelling and with the depth of story. I had never heard our history told with such specificity and care. So when I found out Hulu and The Onyx Collective were adapting "The 1619 Project" for television, I knew I would watch. So I am delighted to have one of the director's and producer's, Naimah Jabali-Nash,
Here's what we're talking about:
- The historical background of "The 1619 Project" and its importance
- How the opportunity to direct "The 1619 Project" happened
- How they decided on the visual direction for her episode
- Her experience as a first-time director
- How they adapted the book, essays and podcast into a TV series
- Why she allows her curiosity to dictate the projects she works on
- How she decompresses after engaging with the weight of these stories
- The impact of the stories shared in "The 1619 Project"
"The 1619 Project" is a history lesson unlike any lesson we've had before.
