In Hollywood, we hear, it's all about the money. It's a ready explanation for why so few black films get made. What if the economics that governs film production is so skewed that no film by, about, or for people of colour will ever look like a worthy investment unless it follows specific racial or gender patterns? This, Monica Ndounou shows us, is precisely the case. In a work as revealing about the culture of filmmaking as it is about the distorted economics of African American film, Ndounou clearly traces the insidious connections between history, content and cash in black films.
