Khalik Allah is a director and cinematographer, known for Black Mother (2018), Field Niggas (2015) and Antonyms of Beauty (2013).“In [Black Mother], I’m showing how the black woman has been downgraded, but also we draw from her. I’m showing 360 degrees. That can be a little intense, but that’s ** style. I came with a really intense, raw, unvarnished approach. That was honest to me.”
