Kevin Jerome Everson was born in 1965 in Ohio. Since the 1980s he has produced over fifty short films and three full length films, most are largely based on capturing gestures, attitudes and postures of the working class Black American. “I like to observe how gestures at work can be considered an artistic gesture and form of expression, how the repetition of gesture becomes second nature. You have to capture the rhythm and the movement of things as I would do if it were a musician or a dancer” from his urban myths in his native town-
Sammy Davis Junior,
Carl Stokes- to his family and personal history, and from retakes and television archives, Kevin Jerome Everson rewrites his American story.
