Launching October 27, 2021, “We Imagine...Us,” is a groundbreaking podcast and multimedia project that aims to inspire communities to envision how they can work together to create a world that is truly equitable for all. The “We Imagine...Us” project consists of two interlocking series that will explore and reflect on themes of racial solidarity and equity. “The Long Way Around,” Futuro Media's first-ever audio fiction series, stars Emmy Award-winning actress Karrueche Tran and a diverse voice cast and was written by two-time Emmy and Peabody Award-winning novelist, screenwriter, and playwright Trey Ellis (The Tuskegee Airmen). A companion series, “Re-Imagination Nation with Maria Hinojosa,” will delve more deeply into the issues raised in the fiction series and will feature interviews with thought leaders, artists, and activists. “The Long Way Around,” a multi-part fiction podcast tells the story of a Black American father and his Black Vietnamese American daughter who set out across the United States in hope of rebuilding their lives. From the impact of incarceration on parents and children to issues of immigration, environmental racism, and the fight for fair wages, this audio drama offers a moving and clear-eyed look at our contemporary struggles and how, through solidarity, we can make a change. With a focus on representation and centering voices of color, this series presents an expansive multicultural cast and creative team, including Emmy Award-winners actress Karrueche Tran and screenwriter Trey Ellis, Latin Grammy Award-winning composer Michael Ramos, award-winning fiction podcast producer Paula Gammon Wilson, and Heartland Emmy-nominated sound designer Leslie Gaston-Bird. “Re-Imagination Nation with Maria Hinojosa” features inspiring interviews with global change leaders. Hosted by Maria Hinojosa each episode features thinkers, artists, activists, or community builders who are members of the Solidarity Council on Racial Equity (SCoRE). Including author Michelle Alexander, musician-activist John Legend, filmmaker Ava DuVernay, author-activist Saru Jayaraman, activist Linda Sarsour, political strategist Heather McGhee, author Jerry Tello, and many more. In addition, an animated shorts series titled “We Imagine…Us” will feature characters from “The Long Way Around” podcast will release in December 2020. The powerful visual works were directed and written by Trey Ellis and created with The Animation Lounge. Support for “We Imagine...Us” is provided by a grant from The W.K. Kellogg Foundation: A partner with communities where children come first.
We're pleased to welcome Quraysh Ali Lansana back to StudioTulsa; the writer, poet, educator, and Tulsa Artist Fellow joins us to discuss his newest book. That volume, "Opal's Greenwood Oasis," is a children's book for which he is the co-author. Aimed at elementary-school readers, the book profiles one Opal Brown, who takes her very first "on her own" bike ride throughout her home neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The year is 1921, and Tulsa's infamous race massacre has not yet occurred, and this community -- one of the most prosperous Black American neighborhoods of the early 20th century -- is lovingly, vividly, and carefully depicted. As was noted of this work by Trey Ellis, the award-winning film producer: "A beautiful and poignant reminder of the industry, joy, and resilience of Black people in America."
Aloha everybody! Unlike our other episodes, which are all recorded in Redding, CA, this week's episode of the Fail Journal was recorded on a porch overlooking the ocean in Hawaii. Bryant and his brother Trey are here to get writing done for an upcoming secret project (Shhhh! It's a television show!) and since the Fail Journal is about discussing risks, they decided to sit down and talk about the unsettling stage they're in. With a project as ambitious as this one, there are all kinds of fearful thoughts that flood in: “Are we good enough to be doing this?” But every person navigates thoughts like this before embarking on something special. If you're in a similar place, getting ready to take on a project where you feel apprehensive or ill-equipped, this episode will be right up your alley!
Continuing from where we left off last week, Trey Ellis (Bryant's brother) is back on the Fail Journal to discuss their childhood as homeschoolers, and the subsequent battle against the stereotype of being awkward and antisocial. Among many topics, they highlight what it takes to avoid the traps of overthinking and comparison. If you're someone who deals with some type of insecurity, (i.e. you're a human being) this episode is guaranteed to entertain and enlighten!

Filmmaker, writer, and teacher Trey Ellis knows how to tell a story—whatever the genre. He recently moved into documentary filmmaking, working with the acclaimed documentarian Peter Kunhardt on what became the award-winning King in the Wilderness. They joined forces again almost immediately for the documentary True Justice--about Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI)-- which opened the 2019 AFI Docs Film Festival (a long-time National Endowment for the Arts grantee). The film looks at Stevenson's work tackling death row appeals at EJI as well as his more recent work as a public historian. Stevenson is also responsible for both the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which commemorates the nearly 4,000 persons lynched in the south, and The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, which spotlights how the effects of slavery and Jim Crow reverberate through the criminal justice system today. In this podcast, Ellis talks about bringing Stevenson's work to the screen, how his approach to filmmaking changes based on the visibility of his subject, and the ways in which his films have profoundly changed his life. He also discusses writing for screen versus for the stage and the challenges of teaching screenwriting in a quickly-changing media landscape.

Filmmaker Peter Kunhardt chronicles the last few years of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and portrays a conflicted leader who, after the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965, faced an onslaught of criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Thanks to revelatory conversations with his inner circle of friends, the film unearths a stirring new perspective into Dr. King’s character, his radical doctrine of nonviolence, and his internal philosophical struggles prior to his assassination in 1968. In this interview, we speak with Trey Ellis. The EP is an American Book Award Winning novelist, Peabody-winning and Emmy-nominated screenwriter, playwright and Associate Professor of Screenwriting in the Graduate School of Film at Columbia University. One of Mr. Ellis’ first screenplays, 'The Inkwell,' was sold to Touchstone Pictures and produced. He was nominated for an Emmy for writing the HBO film, 'The Tuskegee Airmen' starring Lawrence Fishburne and Cuba Gooding, Jr. The film went on to win a Peabody and several NAACP Image Awards. His screenplay for the Showtime film 'Good Fences,' which starred Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover and was produced by Spike Lee, was shortlisted by PEN Center West for best teleplay of the year.
