This British black independent filmmaker's meditation on poet Langston Hughes, "Looking For Langston" (1989), gained notoriety when it was shown at the New York Film Festival because of its focus on the poet's homosexuality. In 1983, the art-student-turned-filmmaker founded Sankofa Film and Video with three other black film students and subsequently directed a series of short films.
