Watch Nikyatu Jusu’s Black Swan Theory Online Now!

Still from the short film Black Swan Theory

Nikyatu Jusu’s short film Black Swan Theory is streaming online on the Shadow And Act website! Jusu won the Shadow and Act Filmmaker Challenge with her screenplay, and received $3,000 to make the film. The result can now be seen here. It’s only 12 minutes long, but it won’t be available after midnight on Friday (18th Feb) so if you haven’t seen it yet, check it out now before they remove it! Nikyatu Jusu is an award-winning filmmaker who’s about to complete her MFA at New York University, film school. Her short film Say Grace Before Drowning was acquired by HBO, and I believe it debuted this month on the cable network. Afrofusion Lounge has been keeping an eye on this young filmmaker; we did a Skype interview with Nikyatu a few months ago, where she talked about her background, her approach to filmmaking and her experiences in the industry. We’ll continue to look out and support her, and you should too! Bless…
