.davidmakesman is a coming-of-age story, beautifully told by TarellAlvinMcCraney.
When playwright and poet Tarell Alvin McCraney gave us Moonlight–he showed the magic and nuances of Black men–specifically those struggling with their sexuality, in a way that we’d never seen them before. With his stunning new arthouse coming-of-age series, David Makes Man–starring Phylicia Rashad and a slew of newcomers, McCraney delivers once again.
Breathtakingly stunning and compelling, David Makes Man presents a poetic picture of Black identity, masculinity and what it means to “make man.” Ahead of the series premiere–STYLECASTER sat down to chat with the showrunner, Dee Harris-Lawrence, the legendary Phylicia Rashad, Akili McDowell and Nathaniel Logan McIntyre who plays David’s best friend Seren.
Working with the young cast–particularly Akili McDowell and Nathaniel Logan McIntyre also prompted Ms. Rashad to shift her approach to acting for the small screen. “I didn’t feel any pressure based off of the strength of my career–but I felt pressure with these two,” she laughed. “They are so swift, and they are so bright and unmanipulated. If you go back and you watch old television and old films–when you watch these things across the decades, you notice that the acting styles change.
Still, don’t expect the series to be all doom and gloom. “Of course you will cry watching this, but you will laugh too,” McDowell revealed. “There are happy moments in this show–it isn’t all about crying and dreading. You will have a good time watching this show that has a little bit of everything thing.”
