When it’s all said and done, I think history will look kindly at Jomo Fray as one of the best cinematographers of our modern era.

I have long been obsessed with the manipulation of time in contemporary Black cinema. For @nytimes.com, I wrote about how NICKEL BOYS is leading a new wave of nonlinear Black storytelling.
‘Nickel Boys’ Awakens Black Cinema’s Time Revolution
RaMell Ross, A.V. Rockwell, Raven Jackson and Garrett Bradley are the new Black directors chronicling Black life at a different speed.

At the beginning of 2024, I had a goal of watching a film everyday. 368 films later, I completed that goal!

Here are some of my favorites that released this year:

I love the Charlie Brown Christmas special. There's an eerie loneliness that hangs over the whole thing. The music, Charlie Brown's depression, the dying little tree, the flatness of the children's voices, the inevitability of death. A Christmas masterpiece.

I’m 31 days away from completing my 2024 goal of watching a film a day 🥹

Having a Black woman play Elphaba brings an emotional core I wasn’t anticipating when I saw WICKED. Wow.

SICK!
I’m gonna be sick seeing RaMell Ross ignored by the Academy for Best Director.

Calling someone a fragile opp a whole 24hrs before filing a lawsuit is hilarious

“naked acts” (1996) is the first underseen film i’ve been able to bring back into distribution. from discovering the film in fall 2022 to now has been the thrill of the lifetime.

This was my first couple days on Bluesky. Had to shake off that aggressiveness that Twitter brought out of me.

At the top of the year, I had a goal of watching a film a day. We’re almost done with the year and I’m still on track to complete that goal!
