Christian Blauvelt IndieWire The best state of the industry keynotes recognize achievements accomplished, sure, but also show how a foundation can be created so that they may happen again. “Number One on the Call Sheet” achieves that. Rated: B Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Lapacazo Magrira Sandoval New York Amsterdam News The archival footage is rich. The interviews are candid. And the reverence is well-earned. Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL The [first] film pays the expected (always welcome) homage to singular path blazer Sidney Poitier, but a lot of the running time just lets the stars revel in their career experiences. Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Shawn Edwards Fox 4 Kansas City Smart, informative and entertaining. Rated: 4/5 Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Loud and Clear Reviews Number One of the Call Sheet works because, through its two episodes, it makes us realise everything these awesome artists have had to go through. [...] But it also shows how things have gotten much better and how there’s still a lot of work to be done. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) While the first installment is full of essential discourse, its tone is rather light and fun, with a lot of laughter from the interviewees and audience. The second part hits much differently...it’s a more affecting piece. Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Jacob S A literal stunning attribution to the heroic faces of color in cinema sharing authentic stories of reaching for the stars, reaching them, and sharing pearls of wisdom with those on similar journeys. The profound moments for me were Halle Berry’s concluding words of creating space for wholeness, rather than contending for space that was never meant for us, and the poem of about a face at the bottom of the well stretching out from the clay intent on star shine. I literally feel inspired in this moment, I feel apart of a special needling of the tapestry of humanity, as an engaging, compelling, and reconciling expression of beauty, grace, and heart.
