Q&A with Ted Witcher

Directed by Ted Witcher
With Nia Long, Larenz Tate, Isaiah Washington, Bill Bellamy, Lisa Nicole Carson

(1997) 110min

Fifteen years ago, Ted Witcher’s debut film introduced audiences to the sexy poetry and jazz scene of Chicago with this dramatic love story between Darius Lovehall (Larenz Tate), a young black poet, and Nina Moseley (Nia Long), a beautiful, talented photographer. While trying to figure out if they've got a "love thing" or they’re just "kicking it," they test each others’ strength in romance. A fan favorite since its release, Love Jones is a true classic.
