IndieWire's regular column, "Shadow and Act," has posted the first part of a new interview with filmmaker Haile Gerima.
Gerima talks about his most recent film, Teza (2008), and offers compelling advice for independent filmmakers. As the author notes, "In his company, you can't help but be schooled."
"For me," Gerima says, "it is not only wanting to tell your story, but to also tell it your way that’s part of the struggle. I am not interested only in telling a story, but I want to tell it my way. I don't want my accent, my temperament, my narrative style to be compromised to fit into a mold of the Hollywood type."
