American Fiction with Jeffrey Wright, Sterling K. Brown and Cord Jefferson | Picturehouse

Hosted by Picturehouse’s very own Sam Clements, The Love Of Cinema podcast is proudly supported by Kia. On this mini episode, Sam talks to Cord Jefferson, the writer-director of American Fiction, and the film’s stars Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K. Brown. Monk (Jeffrey Wright), a frustrated novelist, is fed up with the establishment profiting from 'Black' entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, American Fiction confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes.  If you'd like to send us a voice memo for use in a future episode, please email [email protected].
