CULTURE, CRAFT & CINEMA VERITÉ
Art imitates life—but sometimes, it simply lives alongside it.
Donovan Gardener and Praheme share how cinema vérité—a raw, observational documentary style—shaped the vision for portraying the everyday beauty of Black life. Inspired by classics like Killer of Sheep, their latest project "Young Legend" offers an intimate window into a young Black couple's life with their new child. It’s not about dramatics or plot twists—just quiet, honest moments of love, growth, and connection. As Gardener puts it, the film lets you simply be with these characters, capturing the emotional tone of a lived-in truth. Praheme's family is the subject of the doc.
