‘Nickel Boys’ Director RaMell Ross on Making the Film and Being Open to Working With Marvel Producers ‘Willing to Challenge Their Beliefs’
Awards Circuit Podcast: 'Nickel Boy's director RaMell Ross on making the film and being open to working with Marvel producers. Also: Jesse Eisenberg.
In a candid conversation on the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Ross reflects on the symbolism in “Nickel Boys,” the film industry’s treatment of Black stories, his dream collaborators, and the surprising possibility of working on a Marvel movie. Ross describes “Nickel Boys,” which had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, as more than a conventional narrative; it’s “an experiential monument.” By employing first-person point-of-view shots and intertwining timelines, he creates what he calls a “cinematic sculpture,” inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the story. Variety’s “Awards Circuit” podcast, hosted by Clayton Davis, Jazz Tangcay, Emily Longeretta, Jenelle Riley and Michael Schneider, who also produces, is your one-stop source for lively conversations about the best in film and television.
