Behind The Mask: RedBlock's Spider-Verse

Two young Black filmmakers from the DMV just built their own corner of the Spider-Verse — and this episode goes behind the mask with them.Miguel Archer (founder of RedBlock Films, director of *Ultimate Spider-Man: Origins*, and the actor behind Ganke Lee) and Antoine Wingo II (co-director of *Origins* and the ruthless Judge on screen) sit down to talk about building an indie superhero film from the ground up in the DMV — no big studio, no shortcuts, just vision and grind.We get into the origin story behind the origin story: how RedBlock Films started, what it's like co-directing with your best friend, playing a hero and a villain in the same universe, what got cut from the final film, and why representation in the Spider-Man mythos matters for the next generation of kids watching.If you care about independent filmmaking, Black creators reshaping pop culture, or want to see what's next for the Spider-Verse outside the mainstream, this is for you.🎬 Watch "Ultimate Spider-Man: Origins" and RedBlock Films' other work; links below.IG: @redblockfilms_https://youtu.be/uDwUlLfhRfo?si=KlM5tz0R4aNB6uLR🔔 Subscribe for more conversations with rising filmmakers and creators.
