- JAMES RICHARDS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY!
- Black Film, is there such a thing? The Black Film movement I would argue, as an aesthetic movement doesn't exist. Instead, there has simply been some relenting in the institutions that finance and produce films due to the un-ignorable rise in skill, ambition, determination, and commercial viability of a number of filmmakers that happen to be Black.

- SHANE JOHNSON IS ON THE RISE
"I would never do a role that I thought was degrading to myself. I have a lot of respect for myself as a woman and as a human being. It's difficult when you're starting out because you need the exposure but some things are just more important."
