A renowned cinematographer and director and master storyteller, Dickerson launched his career during the 1990s golden age of Black cinema as the director of photography for the iconic films Brother from Another Planet, She’s Gotta Have It, School Daze, Do the Right Thing, Mo’ Better Blues, and Malcolm X. He has honed his distinctive visual style in the decades since, using it to examine themes of identity, social justice, and human resilience.
