Director, writer, and editor Daral Olu Kae’s new short film, “I Ran From It and Was Still In It,” was featured in this year\u2019s Sundance Film Festival.<\/strong> Sundance Short Review: ‘I Ran From It and Was Still In It’ by Daral Olu Kae<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I Ran From It and Was Still In It” is personal to the director. Daral Olu Kae was the primary caregiver for his father for a decade and recently lost him suddenly. Over the time spent with his father, their relationship grew stronger, and\u00a0Olu Kae\u00a0started to compare the relationship with his father to the one he has with his children. This film voices the pain of a young black man and how it follows him into manhood and articulates the perspective of black men and fatherhood. It shows the remarkable bond that a black man has with his child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could feel the love a father has for his children through the film and I could also feel\u00a0Olu Kae’s\u00a0pain of losing someone so close that you feel like you’re at your end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Olu Kae is known for mixing genres like narrative, documentary, and experimental together to create his films.\u00a0When watching \u201cI\u00a0Ran From It and Was Still In It,” you have to open your mind to experience something different from what you may have seen before. \u00a0I\u00a0commend Daral Olu Kae for sharing with audiences the story of great black fathers.\u00a0Sundance Short Review: ‘I Ran From It and Was Still In It’ by Daral Olu Kae<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
