The Ascendants is streaming now!
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that The Ascendants is now streaming on Topic.com!
"The Ascendants" profiles four supremely talented artists from Chicago: J Bambii, Christian JaLon, Akenya, and Jean Deaux. With distinctive styles ranging from rap, jazz, gospel, and celestial house, each artist grapples with industry obstacles and traumas as they dream of reaching wider audiences. They’ve orbited each other for years as friends or collaborators, and are rising together.
"The Ascendants" is a rich and beautiful musical journey that speaks intimately to the lives and struggles of young Black women artists in 2020, dealing with crucial themes like overcoming abuse and institutional racism while remaining true to their craft.
This was the most ambitious film project I’ve worked on to date, and I am really proud of the work we did. Please have a look and let me know what you think! Topic has a 7-day free trial for any new users. If you can’t watch in your region, please message me and I’ll find a workaround.
