Intriguing-looking documentary here from Brazilian filmmaker Carolina Moraes-Liu titled Ebony Goddess: Queen of Ilê Aiyê, which tells the story of 3 young women searching for identity and self-esteem in a competition for the Queen of Ilê Aiyê crown.

And for that, maybe fanboys who were supremely upset over Idris Elba's casting in Kenneth Branagh's Thor, will cheer... or maybe not... especially after they watch this trailer for a movie obviously made to capitalize on the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster movie - Almighty Thor. It'll premiere on the SyFy channel (duh!) on May 7 before heading to DVD and VOD land on May 10.

He’s maybe the UK’s busiest black filmmaker/actor/producer, and few of us on this side of the pond actually know about him (you UK folks can correct me if I’m wrong about him being “the busiest”… Or is it Idris Elba’s crown to wear now?)

Here's the trailer for a project that was announced back in July last year, 2010, and that we've been covering since; It’s called Life In A Day, produced by Sir Ridley Scott, and directed Kevin Macdonald in what they called a historic global experiment to create the world’s largest user-generated feature film: a documentary, shot in a single day, by YOU.

I first profiled Richard Ayoade in June 2009, as a member of a small group of UK Stars of Tomorrow – the next generation of young British actors and filmmakers set to wow global audiences, based on their “impressive” recent past performances.
