Xavier (@XLNB) a recent Sundance Fellow, mentee of Ryan Murphy's Half Foundation, alumnus of the ABFF HBO Short Film Competition and semi-finalist for the Student Academy Awards, offers insights that deserve ears (aspiring filmmakers take note!). We talk Tina and the Gucci Flip Flop, appropriation of black culture (hear about the back stories of "cash me outside" and "on fleek"), Twitter as the "cornucopia" of his ideas, how societies experience a "spike" in populist assertion during times of political convergence and the potential racist intersectionality of a privileged white dude such as myself interviewing artists.
