When RaMell Ross speaks about filmmaking, he doesn’t talk about entertainment or box office success. Instead, he describes his work as “knowledge production” – a means of engaging with the world’s complexity through a lens that challenges conventional storytelling. This perspective has served him well, from his Oscar-nominated documentary “Hale County This Morning, This Evening” to his latest triumph, the critically acclaimed and also Oscar-nominated adaptation of “The Nickel Boys.”
