![Bill Duke Instagram - My latest interview with #Indiewire. Thank you #RobertDaniels and Indiewire, I appreciate it.
Excerpt: And yet, his name is rarely mentioned alongside Spike Lee, John Singleton, the Hughes brothers, or Julie Dash in discussions about the decade’s most important Black auteurs. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t belong to a singular era? His movie acting career began with the Blaxploitation hit “Car Wash”; his television career coincided with the rise of African American filmmakers during the 1980s — now known as the L.A. Rebellion — during which he helmed episodes of “Dallas” (making him the first African American director to do so) and “Falcon Crest”; the height of his directorial feature run happened during the Black New Wave of the 1990s, when he was also making white-led movies like the Olympia Dukakis vehicle “The Cemetery Club.”
“In those days, if you were a Black director, you were expected to only do projects that were Black-oriented,” Duke told IndieWire during a recent interview via video call from his Los Angeles home. “And I wanted to break out [of] that box.”

Caption : Just wanted to share this photo from my Birthday luncheon. This is my dear friend, actor and comedian Garrett Morris. This brother and I have been in the trenches together in Hollywood for decades, and we’re still here. That’s a tremendous feat in itself. “We are all voyagers on this glorious sailing vessel called life, and one of the best sights we can see is that of a smiling, loyal and honest friend. Even if you have only one, you can continue your life’s voyage knowing that your friend will be there if needed, and right over your shoulder when you don’t. Friendship is always given freely or not at all”. #garrettmorris #realbillduke #coribanks444 #MPJINews #carlgilliard #comedy #friends #dukemediafoundation #dukemediainc #actors #torrencebrannonreese #comedians #carlgilliard @sydthewriter #entertainment #hollywood #octogenarian #director #filmmakerLikes : 42741

Caption : I’m deeply honored to participate in this project alongside the exceptionally talented Rob Edwards, the writer behind Legion M’s thrilling new graphic novel, “Defiant: The Story of Robert Smalls.” Rob is a screenwriter known for Disney’s #TreasurePlanet, Disney’s #PrincessandtheFrog, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, #InLivingColor, and Full House. Synopsis: During the height of the Civil War, #RobertSmalls, an enslaved harbor pilot in Charleston, pulled off one of the most daring heists in history – stealing a Confederate warship and sailing it past the naval blockade to freedom! Not only did his actions help convince President Abraham Lincoln to accept African American soldiers into the Union Army, but Smalls eventually served as a captain in the Navy – of the very ship he had stolen! After the war, Smalls was elected to the House of Representatives, becoming one of the first African Americans in Congress. While there, he wrote legislation for the first free and compulsory public school system in the US and so much more. #realbillduke #coribanks444 #legionM #dukemediaentertainment #TedLange #carlgilliard #Varietymagazine #AnthonyAnderson #RobEdwards #americanfilminstitute #HaywoodGalbreath @sydthewriter #thegrio #FreshPrinceofBelAir #Defiant #FullHouse #DisneyLikes : 3698

Caption : “One evening a Cherokee elder told his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves that live inside us all. One is unhappiness. It is fear, worry, anger, jealousy, sorrow, self-pity, resentment, and inferiority. The other is happiness. It is joy, love, hope, serenity, kindness, generosity, truth, and compassion. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” #reabillduke #dukemediafoundation #YouniteNetwork #dukemediaentertainment #quotes #CherokeeQuotes .Likes : 2470

Caption : I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to my long-time friend and true brother from another mother, Garrett Morris, for being honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Garrett has dedicated decades to the entertainment industry and his contributions have been nothing short of stellar. He is not only a wonderful human being but also a brilliant and talented individual who is beloved by millions of fans for his numerous TV appearances. Did you know that he spent 17 years in the industry before making his debut on Saturday Night Live? During this time, he showcased his versatility by working as a singer and arranger with Harry Belafonte, as an actor in Off-Broadway plays and musicals, and as a playwright with two successful productions. Additionally, Garrett played a pivotal role in the civil rights movement, contributing to the desegregation of Actor’s Equity and participating in the Black Arts Theater movement alongside poet and playwright Amiri Baraka. He truly embodies the essence of a multi-talented creative genius. I couldn’t be prouder to see him finally being immortalized on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. Generations to come will gaze upon his star and recognize him as one of the best in Hollywood.

Rebellion — during which he helmed episodes of “Dallas” (making him the first African American director to do so) and “Falcon Crest”; the height of his directorial feature run happened during the Black New Wave of the 1990s, when he was also making white-led movies like the Olympia Dukakis vehicle “The Cemetery Club.”
“In those days, if you were a Black director, you were expected to only do projects that were Black-oriented,” Duke told IndieWire during a recent interview via video call from his Los Angeles home. “And I wanted to break out [of] that box.”

Caption : My latest interview with #Indiewire. Thank you #RobertDaniels and Indiewire, I appreciate it. Excerpt: And yet, his name is rarely mentioned alongside Spike Lee, John Singleton, the Hughes brothers, or Julie Dash in discussions about the decade’s most important Black auteurs. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t belong to a singular era? His movie acting career began with the Blaxploitation hit “Car Wash”; his television career coincided with the rise of African American filmmakers during the 1980s — now known as the L.A. Rebellion — during which he helmed episodes of “Dallas” (making him the first African American director to do so) and “Falcon Crest”; the height of his directorial feature run happened during the Black New Wave of the 1990s, when he was also making white-led movies like the Olympia Dukakis vehicle “The Cemetery Club.” “In those days, if you were a Black director, you were expected to only do projects that were Black-oriented,” Duke told IndieWire during a recent interview via video call from his Los Angeles home. “And I wanted to break out [of] that box.” Link to Interview: https://www.indiewire.com/2022/08/bill-duke-90s-movies-deep-cover-sister-act-2-1234753058/ #ARageinHarlem #DeepCover #MenaceIISociety #Predator #SisterAct2BackintheHabit #DukeMediaFoundation #YouniteNetwork #DukeMediaEntertainment #realbillduke #carlgilliard @sydthewriter #torrencebrannonreese #felixgiles #mpjinews #williammichaelbarbee #Dallas #FalconCrest #actor #directorLikes : 2004
