In this episode Hilliard and guest co-host (writer/professor) MICHELLE AMOR sit down with super talented writer/filmmaker PERES OWINO, Nominated this year for a Creative Arts Emmy, she co-wrote Netflix’s “African Queens – Njinga,” which was nominated for more Daytime/Creative Arts Emmys than any other program. It was also nominated for a Buzzie Award from the World Congress of Science & Factual Producers. Owino also co-wrote the subsequent Netflix global hit, “Queen Cleopatra” nominated for the 2023 National Film Awards.
We talk about being a writer who writes strong, historical characters (with a bit of dramedy) from the African Diaspora, the trials and tribulations of working in Hollywood, finding a lane for yourself, picking a side, the agent will find you, an act of courage, trailer moments, everything has its own timeline, and so much more!
Our Motto: "We keep it GAME all day!"
