Overview
"THE LAST BLACK STRIFE FILM, is a satirical comedy about a young Black filmmaker named Cam, who after becoming tired and overwhelmed by the traumatic and bleak images Hollywood keeps providing, decides to make a film that sets out to end this trend. Writing a film jam-packed with all the stereotypes and tropes, he could think of. From Richard Wright and James Baldwin to Tyler Perry and Spike Lee, Black artists have struggled with defining the role of the Black artist. We've seen this argument begin to spring up more recently with the "boom" of Black television and film. These issues of the role of the Black artist and representation come up often and I aim to take up this question in this film." -- Abstract
