AMERICAN FICTION is Cord Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes, now nominated for multiple Academy Awards.
Jeffrey Wright (Oscar nominee for this role) stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.
Starring Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, Sterling K. Brown (Oscar nominee for this role) and Erika Alexander.
Nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay (Jefferson), Best Lead Performance (Wright), Best Supporting Performance (Alexander & Brown).
