What We Always Wanted - Teaser Trailer from Kody Cunningham

Tumblr! I am helping produce this project What We Always Wanted, a film to be shot in Savannah Georgia late summer. My partner and the writer and director of the film Kody Cunningham wants to make this film to launch his career, telling stories he doesn’t see being made. His heart and soul went into this project. I saw him struggle for the past 5 years to write what is nearly an autobiography about being a lost artist.

Consider donating whatever you can to a project that will shake up the indie film circuit with its diversity, respect for the voices of patronized youth, and it’s hope that we will find our way.

Learn more about the film here.

I missed Ava DuVernay’s talk at BAM but I got a chance to hang with the Array team at Afropunk and show my support for black movie history. I’ve been a fan of Ava’s since one of her earlier works, I Will Follow, and this woman continues to amaze me film after film. I admire her tenacity for telling diverse stories and appreciate her commitment to advancing the voices and the visions of women and POC in film. I’m patiently awaiting her next project, Central Park Five, which she’s currently filming in NYC. This film, based on a true story, will blow your mind, and by the looks of the cast, will sure to be an Oscar contender... . . . #avaduvernay #array #arraynow #arrayrebel #arraypunk #afropunk #brooklyn #blackmoviehistory #blackfilm #iwillfollow #centralparkfive #blackfilmmakers #blackwomeninfilm #juliedash #daughtersofthedust #blackgirlmagic #blackcinema #diversityinfilm #blackindiefilm (at Afropunk Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm8HhJzHEDf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bo9e68ax5rz4
