[08/02/23 - 08:06 AM] Showtime Acquires "Dreaming Whilst Black" from A24 and Big Deal Films Loosely inspired by real-life events, the series follows Kwabena (Adjani Salmon), an aspiring filmmaker stuck in a dead-end recruitment job who takes the first step to achieving his dream.
DESCRIPTION: (from Paramount+'s web site, February 2026) Kwabena is on the hunt for his first directing gig. Having previously “sold out” his cousin during the making his short film, he is determined to avoid repeating the same mistake. When the opportunity to direct the radical color-blind historical drama “Sin and Subterfuge” arises, Kwabena thinks his dreams have come true. However, things aren’t quite as they seem, and he realizes how difficult it is to create something with integrity as he peers behind the curtain of a “progressive” industry.
