Interviews

Here’s an excerpt from my interview with Machine Gun Preacher’s Souléymane Sy Savane:

Recently I had the chance to chat with actor Souléymane Sy Savane of the upcoming film,“Machine Gun Preacher”. So far on its festival circuit, the film has received a standing ovation and praise among critics. Here at Shadow and Act the peripheral issue of “Sam Childers” the real life main protagonist [of the film] portrayed by Gerard Butler has been the subject of heated debate, with the sentiment among many being that this is just another one of Hollywood’s “Great White Hope” movies. I spoke with Souléymane about that subject as well as the overall subject-matter of the film and the ongoing social strife in places like the Sudan and his homeland, The Ivory Coast

This week I had the chance, and honor, of  sitting down for a face-to-face interview with actor, Michael K. Williams.  Here’s an excerpt:

He was most definitely dapper and courteous, calling me a “baby” which is a compliment I can live with.  He talked about his role on Boadwalk Empire, working with HBO in the future, and a possible role in the Quentin Tarantino film Django Unchained.

Back in late 2009, I interviewed Sylvia Black the fabulous front woman of the band, Art World Killer (formerly KUDU). She had just come off a stint as the bassist for Lady Gaga’s backing band; the disappointment at having been torn away from that gig revealed itself through her frustrations with the music business.  Here’s my official write up on Sylvia from 2008 and later for the first time, I wanted to share my exclusive interview here at Noma Black. Follow the happy trail below and enjoy!
