The Boonkey Trail

About this episode

On this episode of *Low Country Gullah*, Luana Graves Sellars talks with filmmaker Daunte Brown about *The Boonkey Trail*, a film he is developing in Charleston. Daunte shares why he wants to see more stories from his community on screen and how he is weaving language, spirituality, humor, and respect for the ancestors into the film. Luana and Daunte also talk shop: the work of bringing a story to life, the challenges of funding a production, and why preserving culture matters as Lowcountry communities face displacement.
