The Industry is excited to announce that we’re hosting a free virtual panel with director Ryan Coogler’s key collaborators on Sinners.
This multi-Oscar-winning team has worked hand in hand with Coogler for over a decade.
In this live panel, we will discuss….
How they recognized Coogler’s talent at the start of his career, and how their working relationship evolved.
The challenges of crafting Sinners, from twin Michael B. Jordan’s to the surreal montage sequence.
The art of blending the realism of the 1931 Mississippi Delta with the supernatural elements.
If you are a working editor, production designer, costume designer, producer, or filmmaker, understanding how this trio thinks about story, character, and art is essential.
All 3 of our panelists are in consideration for an Oscar.
