I thought there was a way of marrying what I wanted to do with filmmaking with pop videos, which I found out through a couple projects just wasn't possible.

Whether it's a TV show or a music video, the seed of the idea is what's driving my decisions, not the format or the outcome.
- Make

Regularly in music videos, I'll write the pitch and convince the artists that this is a good idea, and then I'm having to make concessions to meet in the middle.

We always talk about how, obviously, there is still very in-your-face aggressive racism. But there's a lot of passive racism that, in the moment, you don't even realize is racist. You chalk it up as a strange interaction you had, and then you look at the context of it later on and realize the root of it was racism.
- Black
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up listening to hip hop and embracing black culture, probably because it was 'outsider art.'
- Dynamics

- Nov 07, 2020
A TV show has to be a certain length and, you know, you have expectations from the viewers. You know, you want to see the characters again, or you want to see certain dynamics between the characters or certain kinds of storylines. And you kind of figure out how to best fit what you want to say into that format.
- Me
- |

- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Atlanta' is Wild West-y - every corner of the city is trying to get by under its own rules. There's no single narrative. At the outer edges, the overgrown parking lots and project blocks, the city is a few yards away from apocalypse, and if you slow down, it could engulf you.
- Me

If I were FX, I wouldn't have hired me.
