Jordan Hull, Alimi Ballard, Executive Producer/Lead Actress Renee Wilson and Creator/WriterDirector Jana Naomi Smith discuss the premiere of Red For Revolution, Tribeca's 2024 Independent Audio Fiction Winner.
Red for Revolution is a six-part audio drama centering intergenerational stories of Black women, queer love, and liberation starring Jordan Hull, Loretta Devine, S. Epatha Merkerson, Rutina Wesley, Renée Wilson, Alimi Ballard, Jennifer Beals, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Danny Glover, Vanessa E. Williams, adrienne maree brown, Caro Guzmán, Don Daniels, and many others. The heart of the story follows the passionate love affair between jazz singer Lorraine Giovanni and activist Ella Ali. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of Jazmine, an 18-year-old grappling with her queer identity, first crush, and the delicate task of mending her relationship with her homophobic mother. As Jazmine seeks solace and guidance from her grandmother, listeners are transported back to 1971, where two remarkable women from vastly different backgrounds, with opposing political views and living oceans apart, embark on a romance that defies all conventions.
Red for Revolution was created, written, and directed by Jana Naomi Smith, with sound design by Collin Gerald Thomas, music direction by Tammy L. Hall, executive produced by Renée Wilson, Jana Smith, & Meta Mana Media, and produced by Liz McBee.
