On their way back to the house where his parents lived before the recent death of his mother, Asa (Stephen Cofield Jr) and Leah (Tryphena Wade) pass a blue gate. It’s a very distinctive shade of blue and, whilst it might seem unremarkable to the average person, anyone who has spent time in a Geechee community like this one will recognise that it has been coloured that way in an effort to ward off the boo hag. To Asa – as to Geechee screenwriter J Craig Gordon – this is just part of life. To Leah, it’s the first of many mysteries in a place where she will feel more and more desperately out of her depth.
The Geechee are the descendants of people who were enslaved by white Americans, so there’s a further unsettling moment when the car pulls up outside the house – a plantation house, with all the.

New York-based comedy writers and actors Jeremy Levick and Rajat Suresh, who regularly satirize pop culture and the news in videos they share on Twitter, recently tackled a subject that hits close to home for us here at The Hollywood Reporter — the THR Actor Roundtable.
In early March, before the Oscars, Levick and Suresh launched The Hollywood Recorder Actors Roundtable, a 54-minute parody of the long-running THR franchise. For their fictional news outlet, The Hollywood Recorder, Levick and Suresh re-created the THR Roundtable experience in painstaking detail, from our starry and inclusive casts to our moderators’ hard-hitting questions (“Finish this sentence: I act because …”) to our use of a really, really, really big table. The Recorder’s Roundtable features Justin Theroux as a self-serious actor promoting an Oscar bait movie (for the record, we have never met anyone like that) and includes performances by actors Colin Stokes as the moderator,...

"You know I love you, right?" Filmmaker and poet Terrance Daye from Long Island, NY put together this short film project called -Ship: A Visual Poem, which won the Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Terrance reveals the origins of his art: "Nearly all of my work is inspired by my experiences growing up queer in a conservative Christian household and the depression that I felt because of it. My work tends to reimagine traditional representations of black male identity while de-stigmatizing mental health within the black community. -Ship: A Visual Poem began as an experiment." He wanted to try fitting bigger themes into a small package - and the result is this 13 minute short. A young black boy learns contradicting lessons of manhood and masculinity on the day of his cousin's funeral. The film stars Antonio J. Watson as Jeremiah, Cheikh M’Baye, Jaime Lincoln Smith,...
