Vincent Victoria Presents has announced that its latest production, The Dichotomy of Hattie McDaniel, has been selected to open the prestigious San Diego Black Film Festival 2025.
The film first existed as a play, and Vincent Victoria wisely kept his lead actress from that production, Wykesha King, playing Hattie McDaniel. Wykesha creates a three-dimensional character who can act and sing; we believe she is a glamorous actress in the golden age of Hollywood. And we feel the struggle of her playing parts that make her downplay her own beauty and grace.
Vincent Victoria Presents have announced the premiere of THE DICHOTOMY OF HATTIE MCDANIEL, a film exploring the life of the first African American Academy Award winner, debuting October 26, 2024, in Houston.
Submissions are now open for Cycle 4 of The Next Wave Initiative, the developmental branch of The Directors Company that is committed to amplifying future Black voices in the American theatre.
