Dreaming Whilst Black co-director Koby Adom on authenticity, gatekeeping a culture, and the reality of being a Black filmmaker.
, the British comedy series about a Jamaican man who dreams of being a filmmaker while working at his soul-sucking office job, asks this question. The show, streaming in the U.S. on Showtime and Paramount+, was originally a 2018 web series, created by Adjani Salmon—who also stars as Kwabena, the protagonist—and Ali Hughes, before being turned into a BAFTA-winning pilot episode that aired in 2021.
In terms of capturing it, when I came onto the project, one of the first things I had to do was reshoot that scene. That meant, “OK, we need a wider shot of this to get the whole scope of the hands coming together and all of that for that story to be sold.” For people, for example, on your side of the pond to watch it and understand it, rather than trying to be too close to the material and losing the geography of it, losing the bigger picture.
I’ve been in that position where I feel like I’m sweating and you have to check your bank account, making sure there’s enough [to pay for dinner]. But then it’s like, “Ah, there’s enough, but can I spend this?” I understand how universal such an encounter is—I don’t even think it’s Black specific, but obviously the Black experience of it would be a bit different. Within the Black experience, for me, it was about making sure these characters in this scene are authentically British.
