Early life and education

[edit]

Ava Marie DuVernay was born on August 24, 1972, inLong Beach, California. She was raised by her mother, Darlene (née Sexton), an educator, and her stepfather, Murray Maye.[9] The surname of her biological father, Joseph Marcel DuVernay III, originates withLouisiana Creole ancestry.[10] She grew up inLynwood, California. She has four siblings.

During her summer vacations, she would travel to the childhood home of her stepfather, which was not far fromSelma, Alabama.[11] DuVernay said that these summers influenced the making ofSelma, as her father had witnessed the 1965Selma to Montgomery marches.[12]

RaisedCatholic, in 1990 DuVernay graduated fromSaint Joseph High School inLakewood.[13][14] At theUniversity of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), she was a double BA major inEnglish literature andAfrican-American studies. DuVernay is an honorary member ofAlpha Kappa Alpha sorority.[15][16][17][18]

In 2021, DuVernay was awarded an honoraryDoctor of Fine Arts degree fromYale University.[19]

Career

[edit]

1991–2008: Early work

[edit]

DuVernay reportedly did not pick up a camera until she was 32.[20] DuVernay's first interest was journalism, a choice influenced by an internship withCBS News. She was assigned to help cover theO.J. Simpson murder trial.[16] DuVernay became disillusioned with journalism, however, and decided to move into public relations, working as a junior publicist at20th Century Fox,Savoy Pictures, and a few other PR agencies. She opened her own public relations firm, The DuVernay Agency, also known as DVAPR, in 1999.[21]

Through DVAPR she provided marketing and PR services to the entertainment and lifestyle industry, working on campaigns for movies and television shows, such asLumumba,Spy Kids,Shrek 2,The Terminal,Collateral, andDreamgirls.[15][16][18][22][23][24][25]

Other ventures launched by DuVernay include Urban Beauty Collective, a promotional network that began in 2003 and had more than 10,000 African-American beauty salons and barbershops in 16 U.S. cities, expanded to 20 in 2008. They were mailed a free monthlyAccess Hollywood-style promotion program called UBC-TV,[26][27] the African-American blog hub Urban Thought Collective in 2008, Urban Eye, a two-minute long weekday celebrity and entertainment news show distributed to radio stations,[28] andHelloBeautiful, a digital platform formillennialwomen of color.[29]

In 2005, over the Christmas holiday, DuVernay decided to take $6,000 and make her first film, a short calledSaturday Night Life.[18][30] Based on her mother's experiences,[18] the 12-minute film was about an uplifting trip by a struggling single mother (Melissa De Sousa) and her three kids to a local Los Angeles discount grocery store. The film toured the festival circuit and was broadcast on February 6, 2007, as part ofShowtime'sBlack Filmmaker Showcase.[citation needed]

DuVernay next explored making documentaries, because they can be done on a smaller budget than fiction films, and she could learn the trade while doing so.[31] In 2007, she directed the shortCompton in C Minor, for which she "challenged herself to captureCompton in only two hours and present whatever she found." The following year, she made her feature directorial debut with thealternative hip hop documentaryThis Is the Life, a history of LA'sGood Life Cafe's arts movement, in which she participated as part of the duoFigures of Speech.This is the Life won audience awards at the ReelWorld Film Festival in Toronto, the Los Angeles Pan-African Film Festival, the Hollywood Black Film Festival, and the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival in Seattle.[32]

2010–2013: Film debut and breakthrough

[edit]
DuVernay at the 2010AFI Film Festival

In 2010, DuVernay directed three TV documentaries. The first, two-hour concert filmTV One Night Only: Live from the Essence Music Festival, was a mix of live performances and behind-the-scenes vignettes. It aired August 28, 2010, onTV One and showcases the U.S.'s largest annual African-American entertainment gathering, theEssence Music Festival. In 2010 it was held July 2–4 inNew Orleans.[33] Two days later,BET premiered its first original music documentary,My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women and Hip Hop, a 41-minute long history of female hip hop artists.[34] OnThanksgiving 2010, TV One showed DuVernay's 44-minute documentary specialEssence Presents: Faith Through the Storm, about two Black sisters who reclaimed their lives after personal devastation during Hurricane Katrina. "It was done for a client, forEssence. They wanted to talk about how faith helped them through, that was very important to them. So it is interspersed with gospel music, images of Katrina, their home and family."[35]

I Will Follow

Main article:I Will Follow (film)

In 2011, DuVernay's first narrative feature film,I Will Follow, a drama starringSalli Richardson-Whitfield, was released theatrically. DuVernay's aunt Denise Sexton was the inspiration for the film.[citation needed] In an interview, DuVernay talked about how her real life experiences differed from the film: "I was a caregiver for my aunt, Denise Sexton, in the last year and a half of her life. She was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. She was a fighter and was active in her treatment to the end, which was different than the character in the film who wants to fight in a different way."[32] The film cost DuVernay $50,000 and was made in 14 days.[23]Roger Ebert called it "one of the best films I've seen about coming to terms with the death of a loved one."[36][37]I Will Follow was an official selection ofAFI Fest,Pan-African Film Festival, Urbanworld andChicago International Film Festival.

It wasn't until afterI Will Follow that DuVernay fully left her job in publicity. DuVernay stated: "I knew that as a Black woman in this industry, I wouldn't have people knocking down my door to give me money for my projects, so I was happy to make them on the side while working my day job."[20]

Middle of Nowhere

Main article:Middle of Nowhere (2012 film)

In the summer of 2011, DuVernay began production on her second narrative feature film,Middle of Nowhere, from a script she had written in 2003 but was unable to finance.[30] The film drew from her own experiences growing up in Compton and Inglewood.[38] The story focuses on the wife of an incarcerated man who is serving a 10-year sentence. She drops out of medical school in order to have more time and emotional energy to give to her incarcerated spouse. The film explores how the families of the incarcerated are also victims of the system and shows how commonly this burden of incarceration falls upon women of color. In an interview with theLA Times, DuVernay touched on her inspiration for the film, "The idea of looking at the victims of incarceration – the mothers, sisters and daughters -- really came out of knowing women who were going through it."[38]

The film had its world premiere on January 20 at the2012 Sundance Film Festival, where it played in U.S. dramatic competition.[39] It garnered the U.S. Directing Award: Dramatic for DuVernay. She was the first African-American woman to win the prize. DuVernay also won the2012Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award for her work on the film.[40]

DuVernay was commissioned by theSmithsonian'sNational Museum of African American History and Culture to create a film aboutAfrican-American history. HerAugust 28: A Day in the Life of a People explores six historical events that happened on the same date, August 28, in different years. It debuted at the museum's opening on September 24, 2016. The 22-minute film starsLupita Nyong'o,Don Cheadle,Regina King,David Oyelowo,Angela Bassett,Michael Ealy,Gugu Mbatha-Raw,André Holland andGlynn Turman. Events depicted includeWilliam IV'sroyal assent to theUK Slavery Abolition Act in 1833, the 1955 lynching of 14-year-oldEmmett Till inMississippi, the release ofMotown's first number-one song, "Please Mr. Postman" byThe Marvellettes, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963I Have a Dream speech, the landfall ofHurricane Katrina in 2005, and the night SenatorBarack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for president at the2008 Democratic National Convention.[41]

Michael T. Martin says, "DuVernay is among the vanguard of a new generation of Black filmmakers who are the busily undeterred catalyst for what may very well be a Black film renaissance in the making."[32] He further speaks of DuVernay's mission and "call to action" which constitutes a strategy "to further and foster the Black cinematic image in an organized and consistent way, and to not have to defer and ask permission to traffic our films: to be self-determining."[32]

The "DuVernay test" is the racial equivalent of theBechdel test (for women in movies), as first suggested byGuardian writers Nadia and Leila Latif[42] and then byThe New York Times film criticManohla Dargis in January 2016, asking whether "blacks and other minorities have fully realized lives rather than serve as scenery in white stories."[43] It aims to point out the lack of people of color inHollywood movies, through a measure of their importance to a particular movie or the lack of a gratuitous link to white actors.[44]

In 2013, DuVernay partnered withMiu Miu as part of theirWomen's Tales film series.[45] Her short filmThe Door starred actressGabrielle Union and reunited DuVernay with herMiddle of Nowhere starEmayatzy Corinealdi. The film premiered online in February 2013[46] and was presented at theVenice Days sidebar of the70th Venice International Film Festival in August.[47] Also in August 2013, DuVernay released, throughVimeo,[48] a second branded short film entitledSay Yes.[49] The film was sponsored by cosmetic brandFashion Fair and starredKali Hawk andLance Gross withJulie Dash,Victoria Mahoney,Lorraine Toussaint andIssa Rae appearing as extras.ESPN commissioned DuVernay to produce and directVenus Vs., a documentary onVenus Williams's fight for equal prize money. This was to be included in their film seriesNine for IX, which aired on July 2, 2013.[50] DuVernay also directed theJohn Legend episode of the performance-and-interview seriesHelloBeautiful Interludes Live, which was shown September 14, 2013, on TV One as the series' broadcast premiere.[29] She also directed the eighth episode of the third season of thepolitical thrillertelevision seriesScandal. The episode, titled "Vermont is For Lovers, Too", premiered on November 21, 2013, onABC.[51]

Selma

DuVernay in 2015

DuVernay directedSelma, a $20 million budget dramatic film[32] aboutMartin Luther King Jr., PresidentLyndon B. Johnson, and the1965 Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights.[52] The movie, produced byPlan B Entertainment, was released on December 25, 2014, to critical acclaim.[53] DuVernay in an interview at Indiana University stated thatSelma would be "the first major feature film in theaters that has anything to do with King's essential character"[32] making it a historical landmark in the history of biopics. She made uncredited re-writes of most of the original screenplay by Paul Webb in order to emphasize King and the people of Selma as central figures.[54][55] In an October 2020 interview onThe Carlos Watson Show, DuVernay claimed that she, not Webb, was the principal writer, saying that the biggest mistake of her career was allowing Webb "to take credit for writingSelma when I wrote it.[56] In response to criticism by some historians and media sources who accused her of irresponsibly rewriting history to portray her own agenda, DuVernay said that the film is "not a documentary. I'm not a historian. I'm a storyteller."[57]

The film was nominated forBest Picture andBest Original Song, but notBest Director, at the 2014Academy Awards. The lack of diversity among the Oscar nominations for 2014 was the subject of much press,[58] especially onTwitter.[59] This film was the only one directed by aperson of color that was nominated for the87th Academy Awards. The award forBest Original Song went to "Glory" fromSelma.[60][61] DuVernay said that she had not expected to be nominated as director, so the omission did not really bother her, but she was disappointed that actorDavid Oyelowo, who portrayed King, was not nominated as Best Actor. She said that the obstacles to people of color being represented in the Academy Awards were systemic.[59]

AfterSelma, DuVernay was approached by executives to direct Marvel's first film about a superhero of color,Black Panther, but she passed. In an interview withEssence DuVernay provided insight on why she passed on the project: "I think I'll just say we had different ideas about what the story would be. Marvel has a certain way of doing things and I think they're fantastic and a lot of people love what they do. I loved that they reached out to me."[62] She also expressed her support for the project moving forward, "I love the character of Black Panther, the nation of Wakanda and all that that could be visually. I wish them well and will be first in line to see it."[62]

In 2015,Apple Music and their ad agency Translation hired DuVernay to helm a series of three commercials starringMary J. Blige,Taraji P. Henson andKerry Washington. The first ad,Chapter 1, premiered duringFox'sEmmy broadcast on September 20, 2015.[63]Chapter 2 andChapter 3 debuted in November 2015 and February 2016, respectively.[64] In 2015, DuVernay executive produced and directed theCBS civil rights crime drama pilotFor Justice, starringAnika Noni Rose.[65] It was not picked up for distribution.[62] That same year, DuVernay announced she would be creating and executive producing the drama seriesQueen Sugar, based on Natalie Baszile'snovel.[66][67]Queen Sugar premiered September 6, 2016, onOprah Winfrey Network to critical acclaim.[68] DuVernay wrote four episodes and directed two. On August 1, 2016, the series was renewed for a second season ahead of its television premiere; it aired in a two-night premiere on June 20 and 21, 2017.[69][70] The series was renewed for a third season on July 26, 2017.[71] In August 2018, OWN renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on June 12, 2019.[72][73]

Main article:13th (film)

In July 2016, theNew York Film Festival made the surprise announcement that13th, a documentary directed by DuVernay, would open the festival. Until the announcement no mention of the film had been made by either DuVernay orNetflix, the film's distributor.[74] Centered onrace in the United States criminal justice system, the film is titled after theThirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which outlawed slavery (except as punishment for a crime). DuVernay's documentary opens with the statement that 25 percent of the people in the world who are incarcerated are incarcerated in the U.S., and argues that slavery has been effectively perpetuated in the U.S. through disproportionatemass incarceration of people of color. The film features several prominent activists, politicians, and public figures, such asBryan Stevenson,Angela Davis,Van Jones,Newt Gingrich,Cory Booker,Henry Louis Gates Jr.,Michelle Alexander, and others, who discuss such issues as convict leasing, the war on drugs, and disproportionate arrests, convictions and sentencing of minorities.[75] It was also the first critically acclaimed documentary to highlight the story ofKalief Browder.

It was released on October 7, 2016, onNetflix.[76]13th garnered acclaim from film critics and has a 97% rating onRotten Tomatoes based on 94 reviews. The critical consensus says: "13th strikes at the heart of America's tangled racial history, offering observations as incendiary as they are calmly controlled."[77] In a review from Awards Circuit, Angela Davis said "13th is probably the most important movie you'll ever see."[78] In 2017, the film was nominated for anAcademy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the89th Oscars;[79] DuVernay became the first Black woman to be nominated by the academy as a director in a feature category.[80] The film also won aPeabody Award in 2017[81] and aColumbia Journalism SchoolduPont Award in 2018.[82] Her music video for theJay-Z ft.Beyoncé song "Family Feud" premiered December 29, 2017, onTidal.[83]

Granat had previously worked with Disney on theChronicles of Narnia andBridge to Terabithia films.[85] On August 5, 2014,Jennifer Lee was announced as the screenwriter, taking over from Stockwell, who had written the first draft.[86][87] On February 8, 2016, it was reported that DuVernay had been offered a chance to direct the film, and she was confirmed as director later that same month.[88]

A Wrinkle in Time began filming in November 2016. Directing this film made DuVernay the first African-American woman to direct a live-action film with a budget of over $100 million, and the second woman to do so afterPatty Jenkins (who directedWonder Woman).[89] The film was released in March 2018 to mixed reviews, with critics "taking issue with the film's heavy use ofCGI and numerous plot holes" while "celebrating its message of female empowerment and diversity."[90] The movie brought in $33 million in its opening weekend, second at the box office behindBlack Panther[91] and made the list for the top 100 grossing movies of 2018,[92] making DuVernay one of only four female directors that made the list that year.[93] Nonetheless, due to its large budget, the film was abox-office bomb, with a reportedloss of $130.6 million at the box office.[94][95][96][97]

So The Call-In was a space where we could just talk about craft."[126]
