The logline for Daddy’s (yes, that's his real, legal name) debut DIY feature A Nightmare on Malcolm X Boulevard isn’t coy about its intentions. The horror comedy tells the story of a struggling Black comedian in the 1980s who marries his white girlfriend, moves into a Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstone haunted by the spirits of slaves that her ancestors owned, and discovers on the side that he can’t make Black people laugh.⁠ ⁠ “There’s so many ways that you can say that shorter,” the New York City-based directordaddy says over a recent video call, grinning. “But I love packing it into one big thing.”⁠ ⁠ At the link in bio, we caught up with the comedian about his film, casting Ilana Glazer, and crowdfunding on Kickstarter.⁠ ⁠ 📸 Andrew Thomas⁠ ⁠ #Daddy
