American Fiction | Exclusive 'First Look' Featurette with Jeffrey Wright & Tracee Ellis Ross 🎬

Take a look at the latest featurette for American Fiction going over the premise of the story and how it ties into modernity.<br /><br />American Fiction is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Jeffrey Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.<br /><br />The movie stars Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz, Erika Alexander, Leslie Uggams, Adam Brody, Keith David, with Issa Rae and Sterling K. Brown. American Fiction is written and directed by Cord Jefferson based on the 'Erasure' novel by Percival Everett. The film is produced by Ben LeClair, p.g.a., Nikos Karamigios, p.g.a., Cord Jefferson, p.g.a., Jermaine Johnson, p.g.a with the movie executive produced by Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, Percival Everett, and Michael Bowes.<br /><br />American Fiction is in theaters now.<br />
