    “The Woman King” tops the African American Film Critics’ list of the year’s 10 Best Films

    LOS ANGELES --

    The Woman King headlines the African American Film Critics Association’s (AAFCA) annual list of the top 10 films of the year.  The film, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, boasts an ensemble cast led by Viola Davis and featuring Lashana Lynch, Sheila Atim, and Thuso Mbedu as the Agojie, an all-female army of fierce warriors. John Boyega also stars as King Ghezo.
     
    “The best films of this year prove that diverse stories–the true and the fantastical–are not only important to the culture but are equally important to the movie-making business,” said AAFCA president and co-founder Gil Robertson.  “Black films which make an impact on our minds and hearts are also making a sizable impact at the box office. Our top film, The Woman King, bridges the gap between telling important, heartfelt stories, and providing an entertaining experience for movie-going audiences. These true tales of black empowerment and accomplishment, such as Emancipation, Devotion and Sidney, as well as fantastical tales such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Wendell & Wild invite us to experience underappreciated pieces of history along with our own imaginings.”

    “AAFCA is proud to honor these masterpieces, along with the rest of AAFCA’s Top 10 Films of 2022, and acknowledge their indelible impact on our industry and culture.”

    The full list of AAFCA’S Top 10 Films of 2022:

    • 1. The Woman King
    • 2. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
    • 3. Till
    • 4. Sidney
    • 5. Emancipation
    • 5. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
    • 6. Inspection
    • 7. Causeway
    • 8. Everything Everywhere All at Once
    • 9. Wendell & Wild
    • 10. Devotion

    As previously announced, AAFCA will reveal winners of the 14th Annual AAFCA Awards honoring outstanding achievement in film in 15 competitive categories on Jan. 16, 2023. An in-person celebration in Los Angeles will follow on March 1.

    Yacht Club, known for bringing a fresh perspective to holistic production, is expanding its post offerings to intensify how and what it delivers on behalf of clients. Having honed an exceptional post process for its own productions, Yacht Club is set to bring that expertise and creative perspective to agencies and brands as a stand-alone creative service or integrated with production. “Increasingly, clients are looking for partners who can operate from both a creative and efficiency mindset,” noted Zach Law, head of post/founding partner of Yacht Club. “We make sure that everything is considered from technical to exploring the creative to make sure the best options end up on screen.” “With post, we always just focused on supporting our own productions,” he continued, “and while we are still doing that and growing, with our expansion of our post department we are able to bring that experience to other folks as well.” Law’s colleague on the producing side is Zac Gobetz who brings 15 years of experience across Company 3, Movement Strategy, and Postworks, to his role at Yacht Club. Integral to Yacht Club’s post offerings is Aria Yagobi, who has served as an editor for the past four years, cutting spots for a wide range of clients including Baskin Robbins, Bud Light, and Gillette.
