We’ve all had conversations previously about the next group of young black filmmakers who will pick up the mantle of their aging predecessors, and definitively contribute some much needed variety to what we call black cinema. I’d say that these 3 will make that list if we were to come up with one. Keith Davis is both an actor and filmmaker. He attended the Yale School of Drama, and, as I stated above, is currently an MFA candidate at NYU’s Tisch School, with a Dean’s Fellowship full-tuition scholarship to boot. He is the lone African American filmmaker selected for the recently announced Sundance Directors/Screenwriters Labs, which takes place this summer. His entry to the program is a feature film script titled, The American People. He is also an adjunct professor at NYU’s undergraduate film and television program where he teaches a course for film and tv directors working with actors. Check out Keith’s website and blog HERE. Darius Clark Monroe graduated with honors from the University of Houston, majoring in Communications: Media Production. Currently, Darius is pursuing an MFA in film direction from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Darius is currently in post-production for his feature-length documentary titled, Evolution of a Criminal, which is being executive-produced by none other than Mr. Spike Lee himself. The film is a recipient of a 2007 Texas Filmmakers Production Fund Grant, a 2008 Spike Lee Production Fellowship, a 2008 Warner Bros. Film Award, and a 2008 Tribeca All Access Participant. Check out the engaging trailer for Evolution of a Criminal HERE, a film that I’m sure we’ll be talking about on this site in the near future, when it goes into circulation.

will tune in
err i’ve got two minutes and i have class in two minutes.
i don’t own a handheld device that plays media. i don’t care to watch stuff on small screens that much. i think it would be ok to watch shorts or features on my long subway journeys. otherwise i’m in the theater or on my laptop.
The show was really good! It was a great discussion and I learned a lot. I hope Keith and Darius don’t give up on their dreams.
*I laughed at the Medication and dedication* comment.
The comment, Keith made about theater and film was also really good. “It’s not the idea of a room but an actual room.”
That show needed to be longer than an hour, so much to talk about.
Good show! 1 hous was definitely not enough. Imagine if the 3rd person had called in. You should have these guys back for a second round.
These are the kinds of conversations we should have more of.
Props and good luck to Keith and Darius.
I would have liked to hear them talk about their individual projects. Bur I agree with the others. Your questions were useful and their answers were thoughtful. Yes please do it again soon. Filmmakers like myself appreciate it.
