(In)Visible Portraits. My friend Oge Egbuonu directed her first documentary feature film + today it is released for all the world to see.
.
In Oge’s words, (In)Visible Portraits is “a love letter to black women.” Without the support of a major film studio, festival or network for distribution — (the project deemed too “unmarketable” ... “unsure of how to program” ... to that I say WTF.) In a forced act of artistic rebellion — Oge decided to release the film today, herself.
.
On Juneteenth. A day of extraordinary significance. Freedom. And yet. She, who has created something so prolific, academically, the film should be shown in every school across the country. She, who’s movie is threaded with poetry and the heartbeat of soul. Cinematically, her vision — a triumph.
.
Oge has penned a letter to introduce her documentary to us on KIND.EST. In her own words & accompanying a BRILLIANT OP-ED by Dr. Ruha Benjamin, ‘(In)Visible Portraits: Rewriting Our Cultural Code.’ The OP-ED expresses “a beautiful opportunity to be authors in shaping our new social contracts – with ourselves and with our depiction of Black experiences.”
.
Instagram family. In Oge’s fearlessness to take the delivery of this movie into her own hands (which is very rare + brave) — be there to catch it. Let her know you are listening. And willing. And open. Tell her you believe this story is MORE than worthy (when you hear that kind of industry “no”— simply, it feels like a no to you. And in this particular case, a “no” to black history. To black women.) Let her know WE SAY YES. Watch the movie. Your heart will be broken and resurrected all at once. To quote Dr Ruha: “What a gift to be alive at a time when the lights are turned all the way on!”
.
@ogetheyogi you are earth’s Love Warrior. And I love you. ❤️
