Three months ago, everything was falling into place for director Deon Taylor and his Hidden Empire Film Group.
Following the success of his 2019 films, “The Intruder” and “Black and Blue,” Taylor was looking forward to the release of his upcoming psychological thriller, “Fatale.”
Taylor said before the COVID-19 outbreak, 2020 was on pace to be a banner year for black films.
Taylor sat down for this and other Zoom interviews to “check on” black journalists amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Before there was an “Intruder,” before there was a “Black and Blue,” before anybody was offering me $50 million films, there were people like yourself that wrote small articles about what I was doing,” he explained, “For that, I’ve always been like, that’s the foundation which I grow from.”
