I think that if we really want to break it down, that non-black filmmakers have had many, many years and many, many opportunities to tell many, many stories about themselves, and black filmmakers have not had as many years, as many opportunities, as many films to explore the nuances of our reality.
My interest as an artist is to illuminate the lives of black folks. I definitely am focused on films that illustrate all that we are and all our nuance and all our complicated beauty and mess, and when you're telling those stories, you gotta have black actors.
Television is apparently the enemy of nuance. But nuance is essential for a thoughtful discussion.
I think the documentary is something that people are hungry for, that it embodies careful thought, nuance.
Playing weird and quirky characters, like those with weird nuances, I find very interesting.
When you're playing guitar, it's the tiny little nuances that make the difference. For me, obviously, tunings is a huge one.
It's got a lot more room for nuance and an assumption that people have started from the beginning. 'Bloodline' ends up being like a really good novel.
Kids are no fools: they're very sophisticated, they don't miss a lot; they don't miss nuance.
I am grateful to Allan Donald for his guidance and subtle nuances that he taught me.
I really like the structure of my body. It moves well, it looks good, it photographs well, it understands gesture and nuance.
