In this captivating episode of Our Black Gay Diaspora, host Erick speaks with actor, dancer, and physical theater artist Rami Margron and composer Jordan McCree to discuss the 2024 indie film The Karamazovs. Directed by Anna Brenner and inspired by Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, the film is a bold, moody, and devastating reimagining of family and identity. Rami shares the journey from the film’s theatrical origins to a winter quarantine shoot on Martha’s Vineyard, and how bringing more Black creatives into the room transformed the story. Jordan opens up about composing an instinct-driven score and his work with hip-hop collective ILL DOOTS. Together, they explore representation in front of and behind the camera and what it means to make art. A rich, honest, and inspiring conversation about culture, creativity, and belonging.
