[REBROADCAST FROM December 1, 2022] The film "Nanny" from writer and director Nikyatu Jusu won the top prize at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. Jusu joins us to discuss the film, which combines elements of African folklore with horror to tell the story of a Senegalese immigrant hired to care for a white child.

First off, lets just put this out there - Nanny (2022) is not a horror movie. Is it a fantastic movie that you should watch and support? Absolutely. Should it be labeled as horror? Absolutely not. We delve into this fantasy folkstory and lose our minds over the stunning Anna Diop as the titular, Nanny, by first time director/writer Nikyatu Jusu.

This week, Drusilla and Josh discusses Nanny (2022) by director Nikyatu Jusu. From wiki: “Nanny is a 2022 American psychological horror film written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu, in her feature directorial debut. The film stars Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan, Sinqua Walls, Morgan Spector, Rose Decker, and Leslie Uggams. Jason Blum serves as an executive producer through his Blumhouse Television banner.” But first! The Righteous Gemstones! Oppenheimer! James Urbaniak! Josh's celebrity crush, David Krumholtz.

Nikyatu Jusu, an assistant professor of directing and screenwriting in George Mason University's College of Visual and Performing Arts, talks to Mason President Gregory Washington about her movie “Nanny,” which won the grand prize at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, and why the horror genre is not all “jump scares.” Just as often, she says, the monster is a commentary on human nature and the way we treat each other and ourselves. A fascinating conversation with this gritty street filmmaker who went from studying biomedical engineering to putting non-traditional protagonists into fantastical worlds.

We're back! Not for Season 2, which is currently in production, but rather, a short mini-season that emerged out of a writers group that I ran back in the early days of the lockdown in 2020. Every week, around 30 filmmakers would gather on zoom as I interviewed writers, directors, actors, and cinematographers about their own experiences with writing, reading, or breaking down scripts for production. Then our guest would leave and we would split into smaller groups to each work on our own screenplays. It was an incredible few months and each week, those conversations about writing became something we all looked forward to. We spent our time observing, from all directions, the multidimensional effort it takes to write a compelling screenplay. Then, years later, the writer's strike. And suddenly these interviews intended for this smaller group feel relevant in a new way. They're conversations full of affection for the process of *writing* a screenplay as well as admiration for the efforts that writers bring to their work and to our business. I can't think of a better time to focus our attention on the core component of narrative storytelling. So, in a small act of solidarity with the (currently-striking) WGA, I wanted to release a few conversations from that writers group. Some names may be familiar to you if you listened to Season One of the Process Dispatch. Others are new. But each brings a unique perspective to the process of writing screenplays. My STAGES co-writers, Dan Steele and Bradley Jackson. Bassam Tariq. Morgan Cooper. Nikyatu Jusu. Anthony Ramos, Marc Menchaca, and Natalie Kingston. It's going to be great. First episode drops Thursday 6/29/23.

For our last mermaid episode of the month, we're talking about the 2022 American psychological thriller ‘Nanny', directed by Nikyatu Jusu.

This week Katie and Brit dive deep into the supernatural horror NANNY from writer-director Nikyatu Jusu. The first horror film to win the Grand Jury prize at Sundance, per Jusu, NANNY looks into the intertwining lives of women "who have been systematically excluded from the American Dream". Our next review will be on POSSESSION (1981).Stay spoopy ya'll!TIME STAMPS:0:00:00 Editor's Note0:00:22 Disclaimer0:00:48 Intro0:02:43 Hellos0:04:01 Check In0:07:43 Oscars0:08:41 Nanny0:17:23 Director0:22:18 Cinematographer0:25:38 Synopsis0:27:58 Suspense vs Horror0:32:17 Cast0:41:36 Filming during Pandemic0:42:49 Spoilers0:55:46 Cons0:59:55 Pros1:03:13 Ratings1:04:46 GGRating1:05:09 More Pros!1:06:57 Next Time: Possession (1981)1:09:02 GoodbyesThe Grindhouse Girls Podcast is created by Katie Dale and Brit Ray and edited by N.

Austin Film Festival was proud to recognize Nikyatu Jusu during our annual Awards Luncheon as the 2022 New Voice Award recipient, an award intended to spotlight unique and captivating new voices in film, television, and new media. Nanny is a psychologically complex horror-thriller which follows Aisha, a recently-emigrated woman from Senegal who is hired to care for the daughter of an unbalanced white couple living in New York's Tribeca neighborhood. Through her work, Aisha begins to unravel, begging the question: When does the American Dream look more like a nightmare? Barbara Morgan sat down with Nikyatu Jusu at a post-screening Q&A at the Austin Film Festival.  Clips of Nanny courtesy of Amazon Studios.

In this previously recorded episode, Wellington and Savon discussed how the Wild Card round for the NFL playoffs wrapped up and their initial expectations for the Divisional Round. For the album reviews, they start off with Skyzoo, The Other Guys' The Mind of a Saint album, Declaime, Madlib's In The Beginning (Vol. 3) and review Logic's new single “Wake Up” feat. Lucy Rose. Finally, they give their honest opinion and disappointment with PARTYNEXTDOOR's single “Her Old Friends” and discuss the new A$AP Rocky song “Same Problems?” and why his new album is one they're anticipating in a major way. In the second half, they review Nanny, the 2022 horror film written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu. Starring Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan, Sinqua Walls and Morgan Spector. They start off by discussing how this film was bolstered by Anna Diop's strong central performance and this movie intricately weaving a tale that may be similar to other films but not in its main character. They also analyzed how Nanny was very grounded in its approach to mental health and awareness plus why this movie may not be as rewatchable based on how it was distributed.

We discuss Nikyatu Jusu's Nanny and along the way, the false promise of the American dream, the ways in which white feminism often excludes women of color, power dynamics, and African folklore as presented in the film.  Nanny is available to stream on Amazon Prime. The song we reference toward the end of the podcast during a pivotal scene in the film is Fully Lost, Fully Found by YATTA.

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore folk horror on screen. The genre is commonly associated with British film from the 70s, but Ellen and Mark investigate how it resonates across the globe and its resurgence over the last decade.. Ellen speaks to the author and director of the folk horror documentary, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, Kier-La Janisse about the first folk horror films, the hallmarks of the genre and folk horror's depiction of pastoral and urban settings. Ellen then talks to director Nikyatu Jusu about her recent film Nanny which won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance last year. They discuss how she uses West African folklore in the film and why she thinks folk horror is culturally specific. Mark talks to director Mark Jenkin about his upcoming film, Enys Men. They consider the film's relationship to Cornish identity and the landscape as well as why he prefers to call Enys Men a folk film rather than a folk horror film. And the director of some modern takes on folk horror such as The Witch and The Northman, Robert Eggers, recommends a couple of underseen folk horror gems.

Paul Hsu (Sound Designer) and Dave Flynch (Supervising Sound Editor) talk about their work on the new Film "Nanny". This Blumhouse production, by first time director Nikyatu Jusu, is full of moody and creepy sound design as the film teeters between reality and the supernatural.

The 2022 Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner was the first ever horror film to win the top award at the film festival. But before that, "Nanny" — the feature film debut from Nikyatu Jusu — was also the recipient of the 2022 Dolby Institute Fellowship, which awards a low-budget Sundance film with a post-production grant to finish the film in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Now that "Nanny" is available to stream on Prime Video, we recently sat down with writer-director Nikyatu Jusu, supervising sound editor Dave Flynch, and Academy Award winning re-recording mixer Skip Lievsay to discuss the film's rich soundtrack. This episode was recorded during a live post-screening Q&A for the Artist Academy — Film at Lincoln Center's program for young filmmakers — and was moderated by our executive producer Amanda Schneider.“We talked a lot about character arc for the soundscape… There is a tendency to neglect sound in the conception stage. And if you think about your soundscape as a character, then you can have an arc for that soundscape so that the audience doesn't become numb, with a relentless soundscape that is not ebbing and flowing.”— Nikyatu Jusu, Writer and Director, "Nanny"Be sure to check out "Nanny" on Prime Video.Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.

The Sundance favorite Nanny is a moody thriller starring Anna Diop as Aisha, a Senegalese immigrant who cares for the young child of a rich Manhattan couple. As her tenure with the family progresses, the workplace dynamic becomes fraught and the lines between the real and the imagined are blurred. Nanny is the feature debut of writer and director Nikyatu Jusu and is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.

On the final episode of 2022, Cinetopia's Amanda Rogers is joined by film critics Stephanie Brown and Simon Bowie to review some of Netflix's biggest hits, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and Roar Uthaug's Norwegian monster flick, Troll. They also review Park Chan-wook's Decision to Leave on Mubi as well as Nikyatu Jusu's film Nanny.

"Nanny" had its world premiere almost a year ago at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize, becoming the first horror movie to win the award. The film made its way through several other festivals before coming to theaters last month and is now available to stream on Prime Video. The film's lead actress, Anna Diop, was kind enough to spend some time talking about her performance in the movie as an undocumented Senegalese immigrant who becomes a nanny in New York City but with a dark past that continues to haunt her. She also discusses what it was like working with director Nikyatu Jusu, what she has coming up next in her career, and more. Please take a listen below and enjoy.

Larry Mantle and KPCC film critics Claudia Puig and Lael Loewenstein review this weekend's new movie releases in theaters, streaming, and on demand platforms. FilmWeek: ‘Empire Of Light,' ‘Emancipation,' ‘The Whale' And More (0:15) “Empire Of Light,” Wide Release “Emancipation,” Wide Release & Streaming on Apple TV+ “The Whale,” AMC Burbank, AMC The Grove & AMC Century City “One Fine Morning,” Laemmle Royal[West LA] “Second Chance,” AMC Burbank & Alamo Drafthouse[DTLA] “Blanquita,” Laemmle Glendale “I Am DB Cooper,” Cinelounge Sunset December 11[Sunday] & VOD “Loudmouth,” Laemmle NoHo{North Hollywood], AMC Burbank Town Center & Regal Theater in South Gate   John Horn's Interview with actor Anna Diop from ‘Nanny' (31:48) The new film Nanny follows Aisha, an undocumented immigrant from Senegal, who is hired by a wealthy couple to care for their young daughter. The couple makes no attempt to learn about Aisha's personal life, treating her simply as ‘the help,' even demanding she work overtime with no pay. The film is directed by Nikyatu Jusu, and the character Aisha is portrayed by Sengalese-American actor Anna Diop who spoke with KPCC's John Horn about the thriller and the issue of representation in Hollywood.    John Horn's Interview With Director Laura Poitras of ‘All The Beauty And The Bloodshed' (43:51) The Sackler family is known for their pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma and their contribution to the opioid crisis, in which they created and heavily marketed the painkiller OxyContin knowing it was highly addictive. Possibly far less known, however, is photographer and activist Nan Goldin, who staged public protests at museums bearing the Sackler name as they tried to artwash their image through generous donations. The new documentary ‘All The Beauty And The Bloodshed' tells the story of Goldin and her quest to take down the Sacklers. KPCC's John Horn spoke with the film's director Laura Poitras about bringing Nan Goldin's life and career to the screen. 

Tarik, Jamie and LeMar talk about the problematic ownership of history (Emancipation), the importance of aspirational images (Lensa), the career of Bokeem Woodbine, and the power of telling our own stories (Nikyatu Jusu’s Nanny).

The new film "Nanny" from writer and director Nikyatu Jusu won the top prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Jusu joins us to discuss the film, which combines elements of African folklore with horror to tell the story of a Senegalese immigrant hired to care for a white child. "Nanny" is in theaters now and on Prime Video December 16.

The Collider Ladies Night sub-series, Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party, was made for creators like Nikyatu Jusu. It's designed to put the spotlight on promising filmmakers in the early stages of their careers who deliver so big with a new project that their star is bound to soar. Mark my words; that will happen for Jusu and this industry is better off for it.After winning the HBO Short Film Competition at the American Black Film Festival with Flower, earning a Short Film Grand Jury Prize nomination at the Sundance Film Festival for Suicide by Sunlight (which I highly recommend watching right here), and finding other success in the short film format, Jusu finally got the go-ahead for her feature directorial debut, Nanny. Anna Diop leads as Aisha, a Senegalese woman living in New York City who starts a new job caring for the daughter of Michelle Monaghan's type-A working mom. The hope? That gig will give her the resources she needs to bring her own son, Lamine, to the US. However, the more Aisha works, the more she's haunted by a violent presence threatening to destroy her American dream.With Nanny now playing in select theaters and due out on Prime Video on December 16th, Jusu took the time to follow up our 2022 Toronto International Film Festival conversation with an episode of Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party to offer additional insight into exactly what it took to get her first feature off the ground. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring two conversations: the first with director Jerzy Skolimowski and co-writer Ewa Piaskowska on the NYFF60 selection, EO, and the second with director Nikyatu Jusu and producer Nikkia Moulterie on the ND/NF51 selection Nanny. At age 84, legendary director Jerzy Skolimowski has directed one of his spryest, most visually inventive films, following the travels of a peripatetic donkey named EO. After being removed from the only life he's ever known in a traveling circus, EO begins a journey across the Polish and Italian countryside, experiencing cruelty and kindness, captivity and freedom. Skolimowski imagines the animal's mesmerizing journey as an ever-shifting interior landscape, marked by absurdity and warmth in equal measure, putting the viewer in the unique perspective of the protagonist. Skolimowski has constructed his own bold vision about the follies of human nature, seen from the ultimate outsider's perspective. EO, a New York Times Critic's Pick, is now playing in our theaters. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/eo Next, we're revisiting a conversation from the 51st New Directors/New Films with Nanny director Nikyatu Jusu and producer Nikkia Moulterie. A riveting Anna Diop commands nearly every frame of director Nikyatu Jusu's feature debut, a breakout at this year's Sundance, where it won the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize. In this psychologically complex fable of displacement tinged with supernatural horror, Diop plays Aisha, a woman who recently emigrated from Senegal and is hired to care for the adorable daughter of an affluent couple (Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Spector) living in New York's Tribeca neighborhood. Increasingly unsettled by the family's volatile home life, though desperate to make enough money to bring over her young son from Senegal, Aisha begins to unravel, finding her life in America to be more nightmare than dream. Mixing domestic melodrama with American genre elements and West African folklore, Nanny is a spellbinding experience that defies expectation. Nanny, a New York Times Critic's Pick, is now playing in our theaters for one week only, with a special holiday promotion: buy one ticket, get one free for all screenings through November 27.

Nearly every one of these episodes has a *Recorded in 2020* as a disclaimer in the show notes. So - the obvious question: why in the world did it take so long to put these conversations out?? The short answer: I got stuck. And getting unstuck was a multi-step process. First, my friend Jake McMullen came alongside me and began editing the episodes and generating the original music. Anna Remus came along to help put a schedule to the process. And suddenly, the episodes were done and ready...except for all the intros/outros. I recorded a scripted version and it didn't feel right. But then I got stuck again. So in a flailing effort to get unstuck, I put out an IG message asking for someone to jump on a Zoom with me and simply be on the other end of the call while I tried to record the intros off the cuff. But it turned into something much more than intro/outro - it turned into a deep conversation about why and how we get stuck sometimes and how we might find a way out of the maze. Thanks to Meredith Adelaide and Raul Serpas for jumping on that zoom call and helping me process this project on a macro scale. I'm eternally grateful for the final push. As I listened back, I realized I couldn't use it for intro/outro as planned, but it might actually be worth sharing as a way to connect with any of you who have ever had trouble "shipping." Thanks for listening to this season and look forward to bringing you more conversations soon enough.

For the second installment in his "Knives Out" series, Rian Johnson leaves the family squabbling behind for a trip to a luxury island where murder most foul befalls the filthy rich. GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY shows Johnson hasn't lost his ability to pair social commentary with crackerjack entertainment. Unfortunately, director Ryan Coogler's return to the “Black Panther” franchise is a less successful venture. While Coogler does right by the late Chadwick Boseman, his WAKANDA FOREVER is over-burdened by the demands of the MCU and let down by uninspiring and occasionally indecipherable effects work. Also on the show, Golden Brick nominations for Nikyatu Jusu's Sundance-winning NANNY and David Siev's BAD AXE, a documentary about the director's immigrant family's life in small-town Michigan.

Nikyatu Jusu is on the most compelling and dynamic filmmakers that I've had the pleasure of meeting in the past few years. We were introduced by a mutual actor/friend and after seeing her enigmatic short, SUICIDE BY SUNLIGHT, I knew she was destined for massive projects. When I began the process of recording these interviews, she was my very first call. Thankfully she agreed and took a break from writing her debut feature, NANNY, to come sit and talk with me in studio for a conversation about her process. This was pre-pandemic, right after SUICIDE BY SUNLIGHT premiered at Sundance. This conversation was early, early, early. But I just knew that if I was to start a series of conversations about the nuts and bolts of directing, Nikyatu had to be at the top of my list. Of all the episodes, this one feels most like a time capsule and provides a compelling look at a filmmaker on the brink - one who has rigorously built the process by which she brings incredible stories into the world. The intervening years since recording this interview have proven to be incredibly fruitful for Nikyatu. She wrote and directed her first feature, NANNY, which won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance in 2022. And now, she's off to the races. Even since recording the intros for this episode, it was just announced that Nikyatu's next project will be directing the sequel to George Romero's 1968 masterpiece, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. The future is bright indeed. I have learned so much from my friendship with Nikyatu over the years and I'm excited to share a longform conversation with one of the most promising directors of my generation.

Welcome to The Process Dispatch. Conversations with directors about directing feature films. What began as a plan to record and release episodes in quick succession somehow became a multiyear process. As a result, the first five episodes of this podcast, all recorded in the summer of 2020, have become a time capsule of sorts - recorded before this season's directors released the work you likely know them for. But there is something special about speaking specifically to process *before* success arrives. So, before moving on to more current conversations, I want to present these five episodes as a way to frame the broader intent of this series. Welcome to The Process Dispatch. Featuring: 001 - The Daniels (Everything Everywhere All At Once) 002 - Bassam Tariq (Mogul Mowgli x BLADE) 003 - Nikyatu Jusu (Nanny) 004 - Jonathan & Josh Baker (aka TWIN) (KIN) 005 - Ricky Staub (Concrete Cowboy)

Mariama Diallo's new debut feature film, MASTER, may be a horror movie, but just like Kasi Lemmons' first feature, EVE'S BAYOU, it tackles themes of ritual and the supernatural. Mariama was about the same age as Eve (Jurnee Smollett) when she first saw the film. She and Jordan discuss both films, and the ways in which the promise of progress in ‘90s entertainment have been slow to materialize.Then, Jordan's got some really important stuff to say about feeling seen by another title character: The Batman. What Should Be Learned From the End of UPN and the Golden Era of Black Television (The Mary Sue)20 Years Later, Eve's Bayou Is Still a Stunning Portrait of Black American Life(Angelica Jade Bastién for Vulture)***Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookWith Jordan Crucchiola and Mariama Diallo

Black horror is Black history. In this episode, May gives a brief rundown of that history before sitting down with Black genre filmmaker and professor, Nikyatu Jusu. They talk about Nikyatu's upcoming work on her feature film, her Sundance-nominated vampire short, Suicide By Sunlight, but most of all, Nikyatu provides a unique perspective of actively working to make Black genre films in the 21st century. Together, May and Nikyatu explore the themes found in this rich history and how each of them is influenced by the work of pioneer filmmakers and theorists. Suicide By Sunlight can be watched on YouTube. The episode is currently streaming on Anchor, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Breaker, PocketCasts, and RadioPublic. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

WARNING: SPOILERS!!! This week we’re reviewing short film SUICIDE BY SUNLIGHT! Directed by Nikyatu Jusu and starring Natalie Paul, Motell Foster, Madison Spicer, Juniah Williams-West, Destin Khari & Alexis Nichole Smith, Suicide By Sunlight is an extremely well-crafted short intended as a proof-of-concept for a series that THEY NEED TO MAKE IMMEDIATELY.

"Ain't-Shit" Bro Code, Performative Oppression, Power in Relationships, and the Usual Anti-Black Latinos. "Issa shoulda had a Latina friend" goofball analysis, people who are not "of the people" speaking for the people and maligning the same people they perform activism for, “Baby mothers" as the best organizers, men trapping women with babies and other reproductive realities in Latin America, including the lack of information and the case of a 12-year-old taking headache medicine (panadol) to stop a pregnancy, and folks feigning struggle for an audience. We air out a Panamanian journalist that used her platform to malign a fellow Black woman and offer her up to be disparaged on her social media platforms, a panel of non-Latinos giving an analysis of Latin American politics and life, men not holding other men accountable through "ain't shit" bro code, mushroom babies, "air semen," power in relationships, generational differences in a culture of oversharing, and the way a 7-year-old and a duck taught us how unwitting impact can spread, simply by being ourselves and more. The topic list is long but all fuckery is surprisingly connected. Who knew? We sure did. Take a walk with us. P.S. The filmmaker mentioned is Nikyatu Jusu, her film "Suicide by Sunlight" is streaming here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRR-0IcKLd8 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/cana-negra/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cana-negra/support
