Description
No virtue signaling detected here. This striking new social commentary is the real deal. Entering the chat is BAFTA Winner Laya DeLeon Hayes, star of the SXSW-selected horror film "The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster." A chilling "Get Out"-like commentary on urban culture and black-on-black violence, the film depicts the modern black experience inspired by Mary Shelley’s original “Frankenstein." Laya talks about how it feels taking on the iconic Frankenstein role as a woman, her real thoughts on the "angry black person" stereotype and white folks navigating these convos behind the scenes, and her experience as a young black woman with black history and integration versus generations prior. Get your mad scientist hats on and check it out in theaters on June 9 and on demand June 23.
