One week from Oscar Sunday, we&rsquo;re joined by Nickel Boys director RaMell Ross. At the top, RaMell describes the formal innovations of his new film (5:00), the naivete that allowed him to make this singular project (8:13), and how photography is shaped by race in ways we don&rsquo;t consider (12:00). Then, we discuss RaMell&rsquo;s upbringing in Virginia (16:00), the hoop dreams that brought him to Georgetown (25:00), and the &ldquo;question everything&rdquo; mindset that took flight in his college years (32:00). On the back-half, Ross explains the cinematic lineage of his Oscar-nominated documentary&nbsp;Hale County This Morning, This Evening (40:00), his aim to portray the American South in a new light (47:00), and why Nickel Boys is just the beginning of this next chapter in Black cinematic history (55:00).
