Director, Producer, Screen Writer & Film Distributor, Ava Duvernay flipped Hollywood upside down with the debut of her academy award film SELMA and she plans to bring more black films to a theater near you. Ava’s ‘tell it like it is’ persona and ‘bold stance’ in a male-dominant industry comes from a deeper yearn to follow her passion for telling stories of our icons that goes beyond the persuasive pieces of content which allow audiences to see beyond the myopic viewpoint.
” For SELMA- It Was Important To Me When I Took Over The Film And Rewrote The Script That There Were Those Silences And Spaces Where These Icons Are Being People”
In the November issue cover [out today] Ava talks about the role of women in Hollywood and the current shift that is current breaking stereotypical barriers . She also discussed her upcoming projects including a film about Venus Williams entitled ‘Venus vs. Venus’
” It Was Fascinating To Really Explore Venus Williams As The First Of Her Kind, The First To Break Down The Wall – So Young, So Graceful, So Gracious, So At The Top Of Her Game. ”
Ava looks absolutely STUNNING on the Elle cover and her story is truly inspiring for all women who choose to be liberate themselves and work towards their dreams.
” I Didn’t Go To Film School, I Got My Education On The Set As A Niche Publicist In The Film Industry ”
“What My Mission Is, In All Of My Work, Is To Magnify The Magnificence Of Black People.”
