In the 64th episode of the Smokey Mirror Podcast, we delve into the captivating world of BAS Magazine with founder Alex and talented filmmaker Ali. 📖🎥
Created with a distinct purpose, BAS Magazine is a profound platform telling the stories of black people, from the perspective of black folks. Alex passionately explains that the magazine's inception is a counter to the often-misrepresented imagery in mainstream media. It seeks to portray the richness, diversity, and beauty within black culture, crafting positive and authentic depictions that the community can resonate with and be proud of. ✊🏿
Joining the project, Ali, an experienced filmmaker and scriptwriter, adds a unique cinematic layer to BAS. Through a behind-the-scenes look, he documents the creation of the first edition, titled "Married to the Game." This thematic narrative explores the unwavering commitment artists have towards their craft, symbolizing a relationship of love, sacrifice, and devotion. 🎨
Together, Alex and Ali's collaboration is more than a magazine; it's a movement. A journey to redefine the representation of black culture and a challenge to the status quo that commercializes and exploits the black image for profit and power.
In this enlightening conversation, we dive deep into the creative process, explore the inspirations behind "Married to the Game," and discuss the potential impact of BAS Magazine on the future of media and black culture. 🌍
