Brittany Shyne on Her Doc ‘Seeds’ and Paying Homage to the Legacy of Black Farmers in the American South
Brittany Shyne on the legacy of Black farmers in her Sundance doc ‘Seeds’
With an agrarian lineage, Brittany Shyne always knew she wanted to make a film about Black land ownership, so she made “ Seeds,” her doc feature debut that premieres Jan. 25 in the U.S Documentary Competition at Sundance. Shyne originally developed the subject as her MFA thesis film, “Seeds” follows the everyday life of Black generational farmers, and explores the legacy of the declining community in the American South. Adds producer Danielle Varga, who joined later on, “Just the relevance of the film’s subject, the fact that it’s very underrepresented and Brittany’s unique perspective made us immediately excited about it.”
