At last…the young legend gets his shine! Thank you @joeybadass for killing this role and earning this Oscar! Well deserved !!! #sixfeetover #twodistantstrangers
The journey of #TwoDistantStrangers began 9 months ago as an idea and became an Academy Award-winning short due to the efforts of this amazing and hardworking team. Each member has contributed something special to this film that can never be replaced and we would not be where we are today without every single one of YOU. Thank you for your dedication, we made an idea into a movement!
Through the art of short film, our team created something that allowed @travon to express his raw emotions. By telling a story about the battles faced by the Black community from his perspective, the hope was to move and educate people. It's been a dream to have this film reach people all around the world and we hope it continues to do so.
No words can explain how grateful we are for receiving the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film tonight. THANK YOU @theacademy for this incredible honor and thank you to everyone who supported us along the way and believed in us, the film, and everything it stands for. We couldn’t have done it without you all. It doesn’t stop here!
#TwoDistantStranger's cinematography wouldn't be the same without the talented Jessica Young. Jessica, thank you for being a part of this film and for all of your incredible work.
In a Q&A with Matthew Cherry and Karen Toliver, Martin explains how he often found his "skill set in the service of someone else's story." Martin used his directing expertise to help bring Travon's timely story, passion, and vision to life. #TwoDistantStrangers
While creating @zariazariazaria 's character, Perri, in #TwoDistantStrangers, it was important that she would be depicted as very strong and unapologetic. With many stories having the narrative that men hold the power in relationships and dating, Zaria helmed a strong feminine energy and her poise represented many of the women today.
