Listen as a writer, director and producer, Brandon Miree talks with Eunice about some of the fatal mistakes he made early in his filmmaking career and the real reason so many black screenwriters are rejected by Hollywood (its not what you think).
From football and loss to creating a powerful award-winning animated short, The Magical Root, a story about the untold life of Fredrick Douglass, Brandon drops gems you can't google about writing relatable characters, the power of belief and how to prove your own value so you never have to wait for Hollywood to say yes.
