L-R, Ivan Weiss, Sam Stephenson interviewing Kamasi Washington in Durham, May 2016.

Today Public Books published the latest collaboration between filmmaker Ivan Weiss and me.  It’s about the gentrification of downtown Durham, framed by a month of festivals.  This piece was long in the works, so we’re happy to see it out in the world.

Many thanks to editor Ellis Avery for her persistent interest in our work.  And thanks to Michael Taeckens for introducing Ellis to us.
