“A stunning achievement in art and visual preservation.”is what Daughters of the Dust director Julie Dash had to say about my film Memories of Love Returned following its premiere @svaff. Next stop @FilmAfrica London on Oct. 26th tinyurl.com/3jeu4936

@BlackStarFest I’d love to for it to be seen far and wide especially across Africa. I’d also love to do a sequel! It was such a blessing to work with everyone. We should #FarewellAmor.

Q5 for our guests: What are your hopes for Farewell Amor? What impact would you like it to have? We're getting close to the end of the chat! But continue to share your thoughts and reactions to the screening using #FarewellAmor and #BSFF20.

@huriyyahmwright @BlackStarFest The night I wrapped filming at 2am then got on a 6am flight to Chicago start filming on The Chi the same day #FarewellAmor.

This is that moment. We were getting ready to start. First shot, first day! #farewellamor

@BlackStarFest I must confess I begged for Ekwa to have our choreographer Manuel Kanza be my dance body double. Fortunately they both agreed. I don’t dance as much in the film as you may think #FarewellAmor.

Dancing is clearly a major element in this film! Q3: How do you each relate to dancing? Or what role, if any, has dance played in your own life? (Remember to include #FarewellAmor #BSFF20 in your answers!)

@huriyyahmwright @BlackStarFest Ekwa was very detailed oriented, which translated to a very well run set #FarewellAmor.

She told us to sit down and shut the hell up. 😂 #farewellamor

@MarcusScribner @BlackStarFest I really connected to the idea of how long distance relationships often exist within ones own imagination #FarewellAmor.

I connect to the story because it’s one of self discovery and finding yourself in a new world snd learning how to be yourself and be comfortable with your new surroundings which i think we all struggle with at some point in our lives
