A Ma Maniére’s new film “While You Were Sleeping” premiered in New York City at the Apollo Theater on Dec. 18, following its debut in London at The Ritzy in Brixton on Dec. 12.
The film was directed by Julien and Justen Turner, aka the Turner Brothers, who have collaborated in the past with A Ma Maniére’s parent company The Whitaker Group. A myriad of prominent figures from the fashion industry are featured in the film, including Angelo Baque, Hebru Brantley and Nina Chanel Abney, to name a few.
Part of the celebrations honoring 10 years of A Ma Maniére, a description of the film reads, “At the heart of the story is the Creative Resource Agency (CRA), an entity that plays a central role in the plot tying all the characters together: the CRA is the agency that was created to actualize the concept of a ‘Black Tax’ on minority creatives around the world, targeting those who are leading the creation of culture that influences society, including the movie’s characters.”
After its stop at the historic Apollo, “While You Were Sleeping” is heading to The Gathering Spot in Atlanta, Vintage Park in Houston and the Eaton Hotel in Washington, D.C. Additionally, screenings will be held at Cinelounge in Los Angeles from Dec. 18-25.
Ahead of the film’s release, A Ma Maniére also collaborated with Nike, Jordan Brand and Converse on a special collection commemorating its 10-year milestone.
