I've had my fill of myself for this week, but I'm immensely grateful to @filmmakermag for including me on their 2024 "25 New Faces of Independent Film" list. Confession: I generally sneer at lists, but do look forward to this one every year and had to triple check when they gave me the nod, 'cause I certainly don't feel like no new nothing right now. I'll take it though.
Anyway, I'm in great company with some great makers. Thanks to Scott Macaulay and team for their tireless and thoughtful work covering our field in a moment when both magazine journalism and independent cinema are so undervalued. Back to work.
P.S. - Invest in a Faraday case for your cell phones folks. They gone from listenin' in on you and your sneaky link to 💣💣💣💣💣ing you via your pocket now. Evil. I fear too many of us in the West won't consider the horror of this particular escalation until it comes to our doorstep.

What a treat. An unexpected one too. Thanks @criterioncollection and @_ash_clark for having me by. Yet another apocalypse is upon us. Horde your physical media (and sardines) today.
P.S. - Some absolute faves not in my pull, only because I have them at home already: anything Kiarostami, anything Sembène, anything Varda. And of course, my heaviest hitters: Dr. Strangelove or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying the Bomb, Touki Bouki, Z, Faya Dayi, The Parallax View, Time, Cure, Deep Cover, all Spike everything. And of course, The Motherf@*king Friends of Mothef@*king Eddie Coyle (not the official title.)

For the last five years, I've been burrowing through archives, ancestral knowledge, and the hidden, unspoken reality of how the Barbados plantation model shaped the modern world. The questions that sent me on this journey echo even louder inside of me now:
"Why de ass didn't I learn any of this growing up?"
"What are the forces, both internal and external, that held me back from this knowing?"
"What do we do now?"
Barbados and its sprawling diaspora are waking up to who we are and what happened on our soil during slavery. It is relevant to converations about race, labor, ecology and technological justice across the western hemisphere. Barbados and the wider Caribbean were the testing ground for so many intertwined fuckeries the world is confronting, so much so that the intensifying global conversation about reparations is no longer just about healing the past, but also about protecting us all — regardless of race or place — from an increasingly dystopian future. Insidious new modes of colonialism and even slavery, if you will.
I have plenty more to share, but for now, in the spirit of the las' lap this weekend that I sadly can't be on the island to enjoy, I'm offering both a provocation and an invitation:
We MUST burn Mr. Harding again.
And so, we did that just that a few months ago, in ceremony right at the end of the harvest, as our ancestors would have done centuries ago.
It is our hope that this act helps usher in a return of Harding to the national stage, and from the looks of it, he will indeed be seen and felt in many more incarnations this Crop Over season.
But what do you think?
Bajans worldwide, royal sons and daughters all, please hereby make it known: should burning Mr. Harding become a crucial part of Crop Over once more?

Like countless others across Barbados today, I am heartbroken over the passing of Trevor Marshall. It's not enough to call him a historian; he was a griot, one who taught all of us, even if we didn't have the privilege of taking his classes. His relentless commitment to keeping the stories, songs, traditions, and rhythms of our island alive isn't just admirable, it's critical, and has never been more needed than right now. There’s so much more to say about that. There will be time.
For now, I am beyond grateful for his generosity these last few years as I've worked on my new film, and the gift of his presence in the very spirit of the project itself, both in front of and behind the camera. May his family find deep comfort and care in this moment, and I hope that with him now becoming an ancestor, many of us across the island and its sprawling diaspora feel called to continue his work, in whatever form inspires us. Our story, the story of this rock, is not ours alone, for the world would not be what it is were it not for what transpired here. Marshall understood that, and he is leaving so much to guide us in sharing this story if we just listen.
Thank you, Mr. Marshall, Sir. Get up good. In eternal love.
- Mr. Jeffers

What a ride this has been. Can't wait to share what @quantumkeisha and I have been seasoning up in this slow cooker. Thanks to @sundanceorg for supporting this Miami tale every step of the way, and congrats to the entire cohort. Honored to be in the mix with y'all.

Thank you to @sundanceorg for their support of "The First Plantation" (working title), a film that I feel as if I've somehow been making for my entire life. We've just entered the homestretch on this — I'm in Barbados right now actually — and I can't wait to share what we've been churning away on so steadily.

Thanks to Cruz and Nathalie of @garciafrankowski / @waithinktank and @nickaxel and the good folks at @e_flux for distilling a metric ton of my sleep-deprived, post-production trip blather into a coherent interview about my filmmaking work, why nothing inspires me more than the third world, the origin of @thrdhrzn, some films that have been instructive recently, and more.
Cruz and Nathalie's Loudreading initiative — read more about its inspiration in their editorial; screenshot in slide 3 — continues to spark my imagination since being invited to screen some films and share some thoughts with them last summer in San Juan, as does their anti-imperialist worldbuilding in general. It's an honor and a treat to have my musings alongside others who joined us last summer, all of whose thoughts you can read in this special e-flux series. Link to the entire series in my bio.
