The Process and the Team of They Are With Us
Patrisse Cullors reflects on the collaborative filmmaking process behind the project, highlighting the contributions of Whitney Skauge who handled behind-the-scenes documentation, director Maxwell Addae, and cinematographer Sam Chatterjee. Although the filmmakers came from a commercial background—accustomed to elaborate lighting setups—Cullors encouraged a more natural, stripped-down approach, relying solely on sunlight and the surrounding environment. The simplicity of using natural light, a strong camera, and a stunning setting allowed the project to fully realize its artistic and emotional depth.
