While many movies have been shot in the United States, few have been directed and produced by Blacks. This could be because Hollywood is risk-averse, or simply because Hollywood lacks imagination. While there are some notable exceptions to the rule, like the forthcoming Black Panther and soon to be released Don't Worry Darling movies, there isn't much room for creativity.
A new documentary by Elvis Mitchell, "Is that black enough for you?," is set to debut on Netflix on November 11, and features interviews with a host of prominent Black filmmakers. The film challenges the assumption that Black artists are too timid or lazy to showcase their talents. Mitchell's archive of interviews with Black filmmakers, despite the fact that most of the discussion revolves around the technical, artistic, and artistic merits, is certain to spark some discussion.
Despite the fact that many people may think of the film industry as a progressive place to be, it has a long history of discrimination. It was difficult to make movies that were suitable for Black audiences in the early days. This created a need for Black volunteers to assist. Black filmmakers had to book movies on the Black circuit, for example. It was also necessary to find the money. A lead role in a blockbuster movie could be possible if one was lucky. However, most Blacks didn't have the same opportunities.
Black films aren’t always considered the best in the film industry. This is no surprise considering the history of the industry. The good news? There have been some noteworthy achievements in the last few decades. Black Panther, Don't Worry Darling (and the recently released Black Dreams) are just a couple of examples. It's not that movies made by non-Black filmmakers don't merit attention, but their contributions aren’t as well-known.
The one-drop rule was another interesting fact that should be mentioned. It was used to determine who was white in the United States. Although this rule was frequently misunderstood, it was still a significant one. It boosted the Negro population and brought together the African-American community. This rule was extended in early twentieth-century times, and the current one drop rule is used by many countries. Interestingly, the rule was originally meant to protect whites from being blackened. The question is, how can you make the most of this rule?
The one-drop rule, while not perfect, was the best way to classify blacks and was also the most accurate. However, it was the most accurate rule of thumb that you cannot use the rule to determine someone's race if you don't have access to their birth certificate. Contrary to popular belief, if you were born within the United States you can claim you are black, even though you may not be.
