Late Night (Sundance London) 3 stars☆☆☆☆☆

1st June 2019 by Sarah Leave a Comment

When late night chat show host Katherine Newbury is told she’s being replaced, she finally has to face her writers’ room. Literally, as most of the men in there have never even seen her in the flesh before. Those men are all white, and privileged, though not as hirsute as I was expecting.

And in some ways, not a whole amount has changed in the past 12 months.

“No Shade” writer-director Clare Anyiam-Osigwe on colourism, diversity in filmmaking, & her love of high stakes

6th September 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

“Twelve years ago the British industry was really bleak for Black creatives… The difference today is that festivals like BUFF have been operating as change-makers for unheard voices, providing a bridge for Black talent to connect with decision makers or build cast, crew and resources to produce their own projects on their own terms.”  Clare… “No Shade” writer-director Clare Anyiam-Osigwe on colourism, diversity in filmmaking, & her love of high stakes Read More
