Award-Winning Filmmaker D. Smith Signs to Serial Pictures

 

 

We are thrilled to announce filmmaker and Grammy award-winning music producer D. Smith has joined Serial Pictures for commercials, branded entertainment and music video representation in North America. A multitalented voice with an unparalleled, fresh perspective, she is well known for her critically acclaimed, award-winning and wildly entertaining directorial debut, KOKOMO CITY, in which she fearlessly shines a bright, incisive, and unfiltered light on four Black transgender sex workers in Atlanta and New York City.

“D. Smith is a force. She possesses a sharp and unique eye and a distinctive point of view. Her approach to filmmaking is both powerful and vulnerable,” says Serial Pictures Founding Partner Violaine Etienne. “She is creating fearless, trailblazing work with visual poetry while compelling us to re-evaluate social constraints through her dynamic and bluntly honest voice. We are so excited to support the next chapter of her career.”

“I’m so excited to be repped by Serial Pictures and can already feel the possibilities!” says Smith. “I am thrilled to be expanding my craft to commercials and music videos and to tell stories that are distilled to their essence to move us and make us smile within these short formats.”

After a theatrical run last summer, KOKOMO CITY is now available to stream on Paramount+ and Showtime. Watch the trailer below.
