#MayThe4ThBeWithYou with #MoStopMo Podcast #4: Korise Jubert & Refa 1 of Dark Star Universe! A not-so-long-time-ago, in a neighborhood not too far away, David traveled just south of Oakland CA to interview Bay Area artists Korise and Refa founders of Dark Star Universe; an #Afrofuturist #StopMotion #SciFi project created through the #KitBash of #StarWars #Toys Korise, an accomplished sound designer & musician, and Refa, an acclaimed graph and mural artist, bonded over their love of Sci-Fi at an early age. With the under-representation of people of color in some of their favorite movies, the two collaborated on Dark Star Universe. Their recent Episode, Resistance Hangar; Outer Rim is a Selected Short of the 2020 #MoStopMo Stop Motion Shorts Fest. DSU has been showcased at the Oakland Museum of California and comic conventions.
