The momentous 100th episode of All American not only commemorates a milestone but also provides ample reflections on its journey. Daniel Ezra, who stars as Spencer James, took the directorial reins for this episode, and his connection with the material leaps off the screen. Ezra’s deep admiration for showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll is palpable. Nk is my big sister, she’s my mentor. I don’t think we would’ve made it to 100 episodes without her. The intricate narratives she weaves add layers of complexity to seemingly straightforward plotlines. Daniel Ezra as Director Stepping away from his familiar role as Spencer James,...

On a wall in the top corner of Nkechi Okoro Carroll’s office hangs a photo from THR‘s 2018 Women in Entertainment issue. In it, the All American showrunner appears alongside 61 fellow Black women writers who are part of the Black Women Who Brunch group she co-founded with Lena Waithe and Erika L. Johnson in 2014 to create a network among their growing community within Hollywood. Membership has now swelled to 223 creatives at last count.
“That is the reason why I don’t feel lonely,” says Carroll, who is one of just a handful of Black women who’ve been at the helm of TV shows that have aired 100 episodes: Shonda Rhimes (Private Practice, Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal); Mara Brock Akil (Girlfriends); Yvette Lee Bowser (Living Single); Debbie Allen (A Different World). “Everyone is always so grateful to us for starting it, but it’s truly been a gift to me.”

Doctor Strange director, Scott Derrickson, is known for two things: horror and Marvel. His epic vision and style shine through in films like Sinister and The Day the Earth Stood Still. And yet, fans weep over the scandal-ridden production of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness.
An IP that should have remained in the hands of Derrickson, the changing of the old guard to bring in Sam Raimi was a decision praised by many. However, with time, regrets surface, and missed opportunities are realized as fans grasp the true scale of Scott Derrickson’s vision.

Doctor Strange Was Always Destined for Greatness
There are truly one or two things in this world that are worthy of being called the stuff of legends. Among monuments, it’s the Giza Necropolis; in literature, Homer’s Iliad; and, of course, Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey when it comes to film.

The world changed when iconic director Denis Villeneuve decided to adapt Frank Herbert’s novel into a franchise. Starring Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, and an ensemble cast of veteran actors, Villeneuve created Dune: Part One and Part Two.
As per a recent report, the salaries of these cast members are, however, significantly low! With the film raking in millions, it’s honestly a surprise that the rumored salaries of Chalamet and Ferguson are estimated to be this low!
Timothée Chalamet in Dune: Part Two The Rumored Salaries of Dune Cast Members Is Quite Low!
With a budget of $190 million, Denis Villeneuve created Dune: Part Two to the best of his abilities. From the varied usage of CGI and VFX to rattle people’s brains to the use of IMAX cameras, the film was quite an expensive project to make.

Nabhaan Rizwan as Aden in In Camera. Naqqash Khalid: 'Starting this film, I knew that this was going to be a young Asian man but I was going to commit an act of violence in that I was going to deprive them of any backstory and make him completely blank and view him through this kind of like colourblind lens almost and that being quite a violent thing to do as a writer. ' Photo: Courtesy of Thessaloniki Film Festival Naqqash Khalid's debut In Camera centres on actor Aden (Nabhaan Rizwan), who is a bit of a blank slate at work and in his home life in the flat he shares with exhausted doctor Bo (Rory Fleck Byrne) and the stylish and confident Conrad (Amir El-Masry). Khalid's film is a bold first film with an experimental and modernist edge. I caught up with him at Thessaloniki Film Festival,...
