A Most Heartfelt Journey...
In "Lovecraft Country," Jurnee Smollett as Leti Lewis navigates a horror fantasy adaptation of 1950s America - a dangerous and eerie saga with piercing similarities to our present cultural reality.

During the 2021 SCAD aTVfest, Smollett returned to SCAD and received the Distinguished Performance Award for her portrayal of Leti Lewis. Her virtual visit included masterclasses and mentorship for current SCAD students, as well as today's interview with Paula Wallace. The two reconnected on Smollet's journey from child actress to leading voice, the research she employs in crafting her characters, and a glimpse into future projects.
