Beyoncé fans received a big treat with the debut of her new visual album “Black Is King”. However, “Black Is King” was nearly derailed by COVID-19, and in a new interview the project’s directors reveal they were forced to improvise when the pandemic caused production to halt before filming could be completed.
Speaking with The Fader, “Black Is King” co-directors Emmanuel Adjai and Blitz Bazawule (Beyoncé was also a co-director) were joined by Parkwood creative director Kwasi Fordjour to explain how the pandemic left them with two options: put the project on hold until production could safely resume, or figure out some creative solutions to complete the film using the footage that had already shot.
