THE ILLADELPHIA GLOW 5 Questions for Filmmaker: Mister Mann Frisby
I got a chance to screen The Illadelphia Glow (short film). First off, I really appreciate anytime black sci-fi is on the table.

Disney/Pixar SOUL streaming December 25, 2020
Pixar Animation Studios will take you on a journey from the streets of New York City to the cosmic realms to discover the answers to life’s most important questions.

Featuring Jamie Foxx as the voice of Joe, and Angela Bassett as Dorothea.
