In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide.

TLDR: if you aren't already making films, film school won't help you. Show notes: • The milk frother we're obsessed with https://www.nespresso.com/us/en/order/accessories/vertuo/milk-frother-aeroccino • My classmate Max's mini Guy Ritchie heist movie.
