Asante Black talks about the connections this film has to his other one from his year and working with co-star Luis Guzmán.
The Big Picture It's been a big year for Asante Blackk. After already starring in the series When They See Us, he's been in not one, but two films this year. The first, Landscape with Invisible Hand, saw him playing a young artist whose world is upended by an alien invasion. His second, Aristotle Torres' Story Ave, is again a portrait of an artist.
These stories, and specifically Story Ave, what I relate to so much about it is the pursuit of hope. The real grind, the real hustle that it takes to be able to wake up every day and say, “I don't care who is trying to stop me. I know that there is a better world out there. It doesn't matter how long it takes, it doesn't matter what hits me in the face, I'm gonna hit back.” And the way that Kadir hits back is by being himself and by creating his art.
That's great to hear. When you said that he reminded you of some of the greatest directors of all time from what you had seen of him, what were some of those directors that kind of leaped into your mind? I had watched it, and that was a part of the materials that I had seen that I was able to get a clear example of what his vision is. But, you know, once we had gotten into pre-production, I kind of let that be its own thing because I knew that we were expanding on the world and I didn't want it to really impact my performance in any way at all. So yeah, the short was amazing, but Story Ave the feature, I think, kind of just brings a different verb to the same concept.
Was there a specific scene, especially looking back and getting to see it for yourself, where you're like, “Wow, that was something really special?”
