@sinnersmovie “Sinners” director, writer, and producer Ryan Coogler was honored at @lacma’s 14th annual Art+Film Gala on November 1 in Los Angeles for his contributions to the world of visual storytelling and his advocacy for championing different perspectives through creativity. Actress Angela Bassett, the star of two of Coogler's acclaimed films, gave an emotional tribute to the visionary director, noting his contributions to cinema and celebrating their collaborations. “Ryan is masterful at not only world building, but with narrative structure throughout all his films. Ryan never loses focus on the people at the center of them,” she said. “Every choice he makes keeps us connected to the emotional core of those stories long after we leave the theater.” Coogler was also joined by his fellow producers Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler, composer and songwriter Ludwig Göransson, and actors Miles Caton and Omar Miller. “I think art is one of the things that makes us human,” Coogler said in his remarks. “It’s incredibly important in helping people perform the practice of empathy—empathizing with other situations and other points of view.”
