Is it Black Cinema or Black Hollywood? To me this is an essential question and for this reason I had to bring on Filmmaker Chad Murdock to talk about with me. We dig into a piece that Chad written called The False Notions of a Blackened Image where he does a material analysis on images that are routinely dispersed currently throughout popular Black movies. We also speak about his recently released film, Phantom of a Killing, and dig into the origins of Chad’s development as an artist, his politicization and how thats informed his mode of production. We go a lot of angles, dig into a lotta artists from Ousmane Sembene to Yukio Mishima! Great convo! Check it!

Hi again! Maisie here (@maisiegibb) for my second post of the week. This time, I’m sharing a bit more about myself, along with some BTS photos shot on film.

I was born and raised in New York to British parents, both of whom come from the advertising world. Their influence, along with my passion for photography, naturally led me to pursue a creative profession and eventually study cinematography at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. When I arrived, I quickly recognised the importance of immersing myself in the community, and was fortunate to meet inspiring friends and mentors who generously shared their knowledge and guidance with me. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of assisting and operating on a wide range of projects, including serving as Director of Photography for two feature films. My dream is to continue making narrative films while also exploring the world of documentaries and telling stories that need to be heard🧡

Here are a few shots from set, where I worked as either DoP, Camera Operator, or AC. A huge thank you to all the amazing people in these photos for bringing me on to their projects!

Love,
Maisie xx

Chad Murdock, a multifaceted and multihyphenate artist based in Brooklyn, New York, and Philidelphia, has carved a distinct path in filmmaking, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences including Ingmar Bergman and Vittorio De Sica. His journey began at the School of Visual Arts, where he honed his craft in film directing while exploring other artistic endeavors such as piano, theater, and opera.

After graduating, Chad embarked on a creative odyssey that led him through roles at Wieden + Kennedy and Laundry Service, experiences that shaped his versatile approach to storytelling and filmmaking. In 2021, he established Studio Murdock™, an independent platform dedicated to his narrative projects.

Chad’s debut feature film, “Fingers in the Wind,” stands as a testament to his artistic vision and entrepreneurial spirit. Through a successful crowdfunding campaign, he raised $25,000 to bring this project to life, marking a milestone in his career.

The First Sight of Spring

What a thing to behold
Love,
At its’ ripest
In its’ budding phase
Just poking out of the surface
You plant a seed with no idea what will come of it
And sure enough,
Love springs after heavy winter snow
And there I watch
As it grows.
