American Fiction + Q&A with Cord Jefferson, Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K Brown

We are delighted to welcome director Cord Jefferson, and stars Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K Brown for a post-screening Q&A hosted by Adjani Salmon.

American Fiction is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
