    Bambi & Lucy sit down with the fresh-faced Founder, CEO, and Director of VAM, Vincent Martell. They talk about their approach to making being experimental, intentional, and very black. The Black diaspora is expansive and rich, and as such, Black cinema should be as well. Vincent talks about creating art that digs inside of moments of joy, happiness, relief beyond the struggle. They talk about their passion for making media that they want to see, things that are fun, sexy, and down to earth.
