Description
Black Film, White Money by Jesse Rhines explores the roles African American men and women have played in the motion picture business from 1915 to the present. This vivid portrait examines how early Black filmmaking history has influenced the current success of African American filmmakers. Rhines delves into the impact of changes within the industry on African Americans, including the crucial role of distribution companies, the challenges of securing funding for production, and the effects of negative images on the Black community. The book also sheds light on significant eras in film history, such as the silent era, the introduction of sound, and the emergence of Black-owned studios. Through interviews with well-known directors, including Spike Lee, Reginald Hudlin, and Grace Blake, Rhines provides an inside look at how deal making works - or does not work - for African American filmmakers.
