Two years ago, footage of George Floyd's murder stopped us in our tracks. Some of us took to the streets to protest, some of us donated funds, and some of us turned to storytelling. One such storyteller is Denton Adams.
Creating what was initially entitled "The Talk," Denton established several stories to make up one feature-length film. Each short film highlights themes of social inequality, police brutality, racism, and their effects on society, especially black men and women. Instead of directing it himself, he decided to bring on seven other creatives to help tell this compelling story for this independent project. It was only fitting to change the title to the length of time the world knew of George Floyd’s neck was pinned down by a law enforcement officer's knee.
Join Roadmap Writers, Denton, and other filmmakers for a discussion on the creation of 00:08:46. The film is set to premiere later this summer in Los Angeles.
