Our film “Birth Of Afrobeat” has found a good home w/ @PBS! The film was acquired for the PBS series “AfroPop” and airs throughout 2020. Please check your local listings. Many thanks to the festivals & friends we made along the way🥁 #afrobeats #tonyallen #opiyookeyo

Seeing themes in recent art that has people walking out of museums or movie theaters... I think life is a hoping sport and I hope to always be able to create from a place of hope. The moment we lose hope, we begin to praise art that glamorizes our demise and mistake it for love.

Oumon Sangare and many more. This year, @OpiyoOkeyo released a documentary about Tony Allen's life/career called "Birth of Afrobeat" I hope it gets to VOD platforms like @netflix

i used to see my sensitivity and emotionality as personality flaws, but have come to realize they allow me to be the storyteller & director that i am. i access the real, complicated, murky interiority of people and channel that into my work.

Felt like #WEBDuBois came back and shot a video for The Souls Of Black Folks. #ThisIsAmerica #ChildishGambino 😳
