In this episode of Odejuma, filmmaker Steven Chew takes us on a journey through his artistic evolution from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles. He discusses his latest project, 'Orion’s Quest', which reimagines Black queer love in the realm of science fiction, weaving together themes of self-love, identity, and belonging. This conversation examines the delicate balance between creative passion and professional work, highlights the importance of preserving Black art, and addresses the ongoing need for authentic representation in film. Rooted in curiosity, this dialogue serves as a reminder that storytelling is not merely a form of truth-telling but also a way to honor our lived experiences, challenge erasure, and keep our collective stories alive.
