    Horror films employ scare tactics for shrills and thrills. But unlike most, Prime Video's "Master" weaves a thought-provoking message into a new tale about a college campus with a scary, racist history. The film, which premiered at this year's Sundance and SXSW Film Festivals, follows three Black women (Regina Hall, Zoe Renee, and Amber Gray) trying to find their place at an old-fashioned, predominantly white university, Ancaster College.

    The trailer is lackluster to me, the storyline is vague and after looking up the director Mariama Diallo I see it's another non #FBA trying to make a movie about ameriKKKan racism. Her IMDB is very short, nothing I've heard of. Based just on the trailer, it's a rip-off of Peele's work in my opinion.
    even though in the article she tries to imply she didn't get inspiration from him for this movie. (o..k..)
    Mariama Diallo is a Senegalese-American filmmaker based in Brooklyn. Mariama co-wrote Everybody Dies! as part of the feature Collective:Unconscious (SXSW 2016). Her short Sketch won the Fox Inclusion Emerging Artist Award at the 2017 BlackStar Film Festival.

    Why are black directors scared to make movies of Black people dominating these white supremacists? or just good movies that have nothing to do with racism, movies made by black directors either have some gay agenda, silly goofy nonsense, Hood stereotypes, drugs, crime, or white Saviour's always mixed in with the story.
    I'm still waiting to see what Black director has the Balls to make a movie about Hannibal Barca (The real one the Black one) not the whitewashed one the Europeans manufactured.

    Because they are funded and distributed by the individuals who don’t want that imagery being seen by anyone. With an economic base, we’d be able to fund and distribute the imagery we want to see. We also need to have the mindstate too. Too many Black people only value works that come from White people. Anything coming from a Black creator independently is automatically devalued in their eyes.

    If we had the discipline and focus to not support these White funded snuff flicks we could reverse the trend ourselves.
