Films: I Walk on Water

American filmmaker and photographer. His 2015 documentary FIELD NIGGAS and his 2017 book SOULS AGAINST THE CONCRETE depict people who inhabit the notorious Harlem corner of 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City. He favors visual portraits of people on the street — filming their faces for several seconds as they pose as if for a still camera. His documentary BLACK MOTHER (2018) won the Yellow Robin Award at Curacao IFFR.
