In the witty and endearing Oscar-winning comedy-drama film American Fiction, Jeffrey Wright plays Thelonious ‘Monk’ Ellison. Monk is a frustrated novelist who has had enough of the literary establishment’s persistent ignorance and heedless promotion of entertainment that they mistakenly identify as ‘Black.’ He writes a ‘Black’ book under a pen name out of frustration, a book that drives him to the brink of insanity and hypocrisy that he purports to despise. Monk meets up with his lively family during this secret success, who challenge his ideas of wealth and happiness. Directed by Cord Jefferson, the film won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 96th Academy Awards.

Frida, the feature film directorial debut of renowned editor Carla Gutiérrez (RBG, La Corona), presents a compelling argument for why the artist and her work are still so potent.

The adult-animated superhero series Invincible S2 is based on the ground-breaking comic book written by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley and centres on Mark Grayson, an 18-year-old who is average in every way except for the fact that his father is (or was) the planet’s most powerful superhero.
