I made a noir short/film proof of concept that I’m really proud of…

I’ve discovered that many today don’t even know what Noir is and why it means “Black” so I made an explainer.

Enjoy!

Thank you!!!

Only a few hours left!!!

Thank you to all who backed us, especially in these hard and scary times.

Your support means so much!!!

I’m angry and I wrote a piece.

An image featuring a screenshot from Zoom of Kevin, Drea, Tarik, and Alonso, smiling from their respective windows. Above the screenshot, the words “NOUVELLE VAGUE with Tarik R. Davis.” The background is a black and white photo of a French newsstand. At the bottom of the graphic, there are cutouts from the movie of Godard (Guillaume Marbeck) smoking, and of Jean Seberg (Zoey Deutsch) kissing Belmondo (Aubry Dillin) on the cheek.

NOUVELLE VAGUE has us on-set for a recreation of the filming of Godard’s French New Wave classic, BREATHLESS. Our cast and crew is rounded out by the funny and insightful @tarikrdavis.bsky.social, and we’re pitching our own “making-of” movie ideas. #filmsky

Always a good time when I get to join my friend and talk about a great underrated gem of a heist film, Sneakers!

If you haven't watched or even heard of Sneakers, watch it!

Then come back and listen to 2 film nerds geek out about how good it is!

Three more days until this podcast hacks into 1992’s “Sneakers” with guest @tarikrdavis.bsky.social and the stacked cast that puts this heist film in a class by itself.

Black, to the Future Tarik Davis talks about the future of Black art and premieres the trailer for his new film "Doc: Race, Revolution, Relativity & The Confessions of a Time Traveling Terrorist."

There are fun conversations and then there’s talking to @michaelharriot.bsky.social about my short film Doc: Race, Revolution, Relativity & The Confessions of a Time Traveling Terrorist and “Black Film” as a genre and everything in between levels of fun!
