12 Years a Slave Directed by Steve McQueen

I’m looking forward to checking out this film. I actually just ordered the book via amazon. I had the pleasure of meeting Steve McQueen at the opening for his retrospective at the Art Institute in Chicago last year. He is definitely one of my favorite filmmakers who has brought a breath of fresh air to the craft of making movies.

Although his first 2 films Hungry and Shame were tough to digest, I enjoyed both films a lot. I’m curious to see how he pulls together a movie around such a historically tense moment in American history. Check out the trailer below. – LOM (@youngglobal)
