Whether you’re a fan of his work or not, everybody knows who Spike Lee is. His name alone ushers a sense of reverence thanks to his spectacular debut and long filmography, as well as his penchant for always bringing positivity to his depictions of Brooklyn and New York, in general. With his next film, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, releasing in theaters today, I am pleased to release a video interview we shot with the director and lead actress Zaraah Abrahams. In it, I ask Lee about his feelings on Kickstarter and its future in filmmaking, the influences and themes of Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, as well as Abrahams’ character, Ganja, and working with Lee.
