Vidiots welcomes two iconic writer-directors – Robert Townsend and Cord Jefferson – for a special conversation and screening of Townsend’s sharp movie-making satire Hollywood Shuffle

Aspiring actor and hot-dog stand employee Bobby Taylor catches the ire of his grandmother for auditioning for a role in the regrettably titled exploitation film “Jivetime Jimmy’s Revenge.” When Tinseltown Studios casts Taylor in the title role, he has a series of conflicted dreams satirizing African-American stereotypes in Hollywood, and must reconcile his career goals with his desire to remain a positive role model for his little brother. Insightful, smart, and hilarious, Hollywood Shuffle skewers the industry’s treatment of Black talent with savage wit and intelligence.
