I am super delighted to talk with Deborah Riley Draper, a Filmmaker, Writer and Director today! We talk about her first job at Chuck E Cheese, and how she got to where she is today! We realize we have a common connection through the Versailles documentary and my mentor Chris Royer! We talk about the ultimate fashion show, a showdown between America and France, and how in 1973 there was a transformation in the perception of what fashion could be! We talk about how fashion and hip hop are so intertwined as they both help express yourself, her upcoming work on a James Brown Docuseries, and so much more!
