IS GOD IS Director Aleshea Harris on the Film’s Themes and Big Twist

'Is God Is' Director Aleshea Harris InterviewIn an exclusive interview with Nerdist, playwright and director Aleshea Harris discusses the journey of adapting her Obie Award-winning play, Is God Is, into a feature film. Harris opens up about the unique experience of stepping into the director's chair to translate her highly stylized stage production—which follows twin sisters Anaia and Racine on a bloody, cross-country revenge mission to kill their father—onto the big screen. During the conversation, she dives deep into the film's distinct visual language, which blends Spaghetti Western tropes, Greek tragedy, dark comedy, and Afrofuturism. Harris emphasizes that the movie's unapologetic, stylized violence is highly intentional; she views it as a dark, cathartic exploration of generational trauma, righteous female rage, and the fierce reclamation of agency for Black women within the revenge-thriller genre.Visit  https://nerdist.com/article/is-god-is-director-aleshea-harris-interview/  to read or listen to the article.Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player) Hosted on Acast.
