It’s Official: Nadine Patterson is “the first black female writer/director of a feature film of Shakespeare

Posted on by under Uncategorized

Renown Shakespeare scholars Scott Newstok and Ayanna Thompson, authors of Weyward Macbeth, have stated that “to the best of our knowledge, you would be the first black female writer/director of a feature film of Shakespeare.”

I  never made the film with the intention of being the first of anything. I just wanted to make a great film, and I thought, who is the best writer that I can collaborate with– Shakespeare!

But marketing is an important part of the filmmaking process, and we will use this new information to help promote the film and the amazing work of the cast, crew and supporters that made the film possible. Thank you.
—- Nadine Patterson, writer/director TANGO MACBETH
