Tananarive Due '87, film historian, educator, producer, writer, and leading voice in Black speculative fiction, joins Northwestern Intersections in a special two-part episode. In part 2 she shares how she developed her famous course at UCLA, "The Sunken Place: Racism, Survival, and the Black Horror Aesthetic," after watching Jordan Peele's Get Out. Jordan Peele's impact is immeasurable: Get Out sparked the Black Horror Renaissance and the creation of the documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror (Due is an executive producer); his production company has opened doors for marginalized horror creators, particularly women; and much more for years to come. Peele's impact has extended to Due as well--he invited her and husband and collaborator Steven Barnes to write an episode of The Twilight Zone, her first television credit. We learn how Due and Barnes met at a science fiction, fantasy, and horror conference in 1997, and became partners and collaborators writing screenplays and teleplays together. Due reveals her tips for successfully collaborating, offers thoughtful advice for developing writers, and shares how she and Barnes have started their own podcast, "Lifewriting: Write for Your Life!", an extension of their Lifewriting program.
