“Kasi Lemmons’ “Eve’s Bayou” is an intensely emotional family drama that mixes elements of Southern Gothic with the kinds of characters and tensions that prevail in the plays of Tennessee Williams and other Southern writers. Anchored by a strong cast, including Samuel L. Jackson, Lynn Whitfield and Diahann Carroll, this talented debut by a black female writer-director is a well-made, if also old-fashioned, multi-generational drama.””

I got a chance to write, co-produce and co-edit an interview with award winning film director/writer/actress Kasi Lemmons (Eve's Bayou, Talk to Me, Silence of the Lambs). Her 1997 film Eve's Bayou was a huge inspiration for me becoming a filmmaker.
