Tessa Thompson & Lakeith Stanfield (’Sorry to Bother You’) for GQ
“There are so many movies with people of color coming out that are like, ‘It’s the people-of-color version of a heist movie!’ Or, ‘It’s the people-of-color version of a buddy-cop thing!’ You know, ‘People of color in this romantic comedy instead of Jennifer Aniston’ or whatever.” [Director Boots] Riley’s representation doesn’t mean just slotting people of color into roles “they wouldn’t have gotten originally” (read: white), it means creating roles we haven’t seen before: “This is a new movement of art for people of color that has to do with not only people being represented on screen and behind the screen, but a new way of thinking about the creation of art. [Stanfield and Thompson] are two of the prominent members of this kind of new group of actors that are coming up.”
Ok so i had this idea for one big poster including all of the M9. A
little gift to leave the community that has changed my life over the
past 2 years, but i’m not sure i can make it before i have to leave, so
i’m posting these now.
I wanted to reveal the whole thing when it’s done but now i’m not sure
if i can. I’m tired and stressed and running out of time, so i’ll keep
posting these as i finish them and we’ll see how far i get
