I didn’t know Melvin Van Peebles died recently. I wanted to share this article about this pioneer of Blk Cinema. His attitude should inspire filmakers. Cameras and editing systems are more affordable than ever. Tell your story, we need to see new stories that shape and influence viewers now as much as we ever have.
