Revenge of the Black Best Friend is a brand new CBC Gem original comedy series from award-winning playwright, host, producer, and CBC personality Amanda Parris, puts a spotlight – and surreal twist – on the familiar tropes, stereotypes and typecasting that's been forced on Black actors. The entire six-part series debuted on the free CBC Gem streaming service on Thursday, March 31, 2022. It also had its international premiere as an official selection in the Short Form competition at the prestigious Cannes International Series Festival (Canneseries) April 1-6, 2022. From dismissed divas to sidelined superheroes, the series follows Dr. Toni Shakur (played by The Porter's Oluniké Adeliyi), a self-help guru whose mission is to cancel the entertainment industry's reliance on token Black characters…that is before she gets cancelled herself. This highly irreverent series is partially inspired by Robert Townsend's iconic ‘80s spoof Hollywood Shuffle, and is in the spirit of contemporary offerings like Atlanta, Random Acts of Flyness and Sorry to Bother You. Revenge of the Black Best Friend is directed by Thyrone Tommy, Ian Keteku and Jerome Kruin. Motion (Co-Executive Producer, Writer) and Julian De Zotti (Executive Producer) are also part of the production team. It stars Oluniké Adeliyi, Cara Ricketts, Araya Mengesha, Dwain Murphy, Ashton James, Julian De Zotti and Jenny Young with special appearances from Andrea Lewis, Tyrone Edwards and Mark Strong. Recently, we spoke with Olunike Adeliyi (Dr. Toni Shakur), Ashton James, Ian Keteku and Jerome Kruin from the show. During our conversation, they talked about: – How did they get involved in the project – What drove them to this project – Olunike's character – How was their first day on set like – Could they relate with personal experiences while working on this series – A special moment you had during the production – Their message to melanate and non-melanated people You can find out more information about Revenge of the Black Best Friend via: Twitter Instagram Hashtags: #RBBF #revengebbf Visit The Dr. Vibe Show™ at https://www.thedrvibeshow.com/ Please feel free to email us at dr.vibe@thedrvibeshow.com Subscribe to The Dr. Vibe Show™ YouTube channel here Please feel free to “Like” the “The Dr. Vibe Show” Facebook Fan Page here God bless, peace, be well and keep the faith, Dr. Vibe 2020 Podcast News Award Winner – Canadian Ethnic Media Association 2018 Innovation Award Winner – Canadian Ethnic Media Association The Dr. Vibe Show™ At “The Good Men Project” One of the first Brand Ambassador's – Cuisine Noir Magazine Dr. Vibe on HuffPost Live – August 2, 2013 2013 Black Weblog Awards Finalist (Best Podcast) 2012 Black Weblog Awards Winner (Best International Blog) 2012 Black Weblog Awards Finalist (Best Podcast) 2011 Black Weblog Awards Finalist (Best International Blog and Best Podcast Series) Black Blog Of The Day – Black Bloggers Network – June 23, 2011 Twitter Twitter hashtag: #DrVibe The Dr. Vibe Show™ – iTunes The Dr. Vibe Show™ – Spotify Dr. Vibe Media – You Tube The Dr. Vibe Show™ – Stitcher Radio The Dr. Vibe Show™ – TuneIn Radio The Dr. Vibe Show™ – Google Podcasts The Dr. Vibe Show™ – iHeartRadio The Dr. Vibe Show™ at Anchor Linkedin – The Dr. Vibe Show™ Instagram The Dr. Vibe Show Facebook Fan Page

Geri and Terence Nance — creator, writer, director, and co-star of the new HBO Late Night series RANDOM ACTS OF FLYNESS — talk about the trauma in - and of - making art, how his writing takes place before he opens Final Draft, and how we can find success by looking in each other's faces. Terrence Nance is a writer, director, actor, and musician. His 2012 feature film AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF HER BEAUTY premiered at Sundance and received a Gotham Independent Film Award. He was the recipient of a 2014 Guggenheim fellowship for his work. His latest project is the HBO late-night sketch comedy series RANDOM ACTS OF FLYNESS - a fluid, stream-of-consciousness response to the contemporary American mediascape. Each episode features a handful of interconnected vignettes which showcase an ensemble cast of emerging and established talent. The show is a mix of verité documentary, musical performances, surrealist melodrama and humorous animation. Nance and his collaborators weave together such themes as ancestral trauma, history, death, the singularity, romance and more. The six-episode first season explores evergreen cultural idioms such as patriarchy, white supremacy and sensuality from a new, thought-provoking perspective, and is available to stream on HBO Max. -- Read shownotes, transcripts, and other member interviews: www.onwriting.org/ -- Follow the Guild on social media: Twitter: @OnWritingWGAE | @WGAEast Facebook: /WGAEast Instagram: @WGAEast

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 30, 2020 22:20


Muziek van Emile Mosseri voor het sprankelende drama The Last Black Man in San Francisco (Verenigde Staten 2019) van Joe Talbot. Debuterend regisseur Joe Talbot baseerde dit fraaie indiedrama op ervaringen van zijn beste vriend Jimmie Fails, die zelf – ook debuterend – de hoofdrol speelt. Het filmpersonage heet eveneens Jimmie Fails en is een Afro-Amerikaanse twintiger die geobsedeerd is door een Victoriaanse villa in de binnenstad van San Francisco. Als het huis onverwacht leeg komt te staan, besluit Jimmie het met zijn excentrieke vriend Montgomery te gaan kraken. Veel meer heeft de plot niet om het lijf, maar dat stoort niet, want deze weemoedige liefdesbrief aan San Francisco bruist van de originele ideeën en het cinematografische talent. De muziek die Emile Mosseri voor de film maakte is al net zo ideeënrijk en afwisselend als de film, en een echt feestje voor het oor. Componist, pianist en zanger Emile Mosseri, wonend in Los Angeles, schrijft nog niet zo heel lang muziek voor film. Zijn eerste productie was in 2018: Random Acts of Flyness (voor het tv-kanaal HBO) en daarna componeerde hij deze score voor The Last Black Man In San Francisco, een jaar later gevolgd door de muziek voor Kajillionaire. Mosserie is ook lid van de indie-rockband The Dig. Verrassend in deze score is het optreden van de beroemde tuba-virtuoos Daniel Herskedal! 0. San Francisco (met Daniel Herskedal) 1'55” 1.
