"It's so wild! We're like... we smuggled fine art into the Academy. And now – and I think it's a good thing– people have to account for the ways in which documentaries are built." - RaMell Ross on @BuildSeriesNYC 📸Mike Pont
On @insideedition , director RaMell Ross reveals how he got his key subjects Daniel and Quincy onboard with making a movie, how he reacted when he found out about the Oscar nomination, and how he think he'd handle it if he won.
"There's a fundamental use of the camera and Black folks where you're sort of pointing to Black folks as the other. But what happens when you reorient the camera and you centralize our view and you're the other?" Watch #RaMellRoss' interview with @TrevorNoah on @TheDailyShow . Go to https://buff.ly/2TO3W7D.
