Guest Speaker Courtney Lee-Mitchell
Saturday, August 12 | 1 pm
Join us as we conclude our Summer Book Club with an in-person screening of episodes from the FX Series Kindred adapted from the celebrated Octavia Butler novel by writer and showrunner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.
The afternoon will conclude with a conversation with Kindred executive producer Courtney Lee-Mitchell. From 2007 to 2012, Courtney worked in development for Cine Mosaic, the NYC-based production company founded by Lydia Dean Pilcher. Films on which Courtney worked during her time at Cine Mosaic include the Mira Nair-directed feature films The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Amelia as well as the Fox Searchlight feature film Notorious about the life of Notorious B.I.G. directed by George Tillman, Jr. After leaving Cine Mosaic, Courtney began developing projects, including Kindred, through her company, 4th Power Films.
