Feels good to be screening at the New Beverly Theater again. Back in 1997, The WMW was booked here for two weeks. At its premiere, which was a small one, both Euzahn Palsy and Julia Louis Dreyfus were in the audience! If you live in LA, don’t miss a rare opportunity to see the movie projected in 16mm! Screens today & tomorrow at New Beverly. #newbeverlycinema #thewatermelonwoman

RIP Jessie Maple! Will (1981), one of the first narrative feature films made by an African American woman director. It set the ball in motion for so many women, including myself, to make films. Thank you for your courage, your fierceness, and your vision.

Director Cheryl Dunye sat down with Black Girl Nerds to discuss her creative journey – from her debut film The Watermelon Woman, the first film from a Black lesbian, to the development of her company Jingletown Films. Cheryl speaks on the importance of thinking out-of-the-box, playing with form and using all of your identity in your work, especially for queer people of color filmmakers. She also notes the significance of nourishing other modalities outside of cinema to become a better storyteller by tapping into all the aspects of who you are or could be. . . . #Director #WomenInFilm #WomenInMedia #WomenInEntertainment #QueerFilmmakers
