- Darnell Lamont Walker, above all things, is an artist; a writer, photographer, painter, and filmmaker. Quoting Nina Simone as often as possible, Darnell understands his duty is to reflect the times, whatever that may mean for the space he's occupying.
"I became a filmmaker by accident," Walker says. "I traveled during a time of American unrest, and returned home with a ton of footage. I made a film." Seeking Asylum, Darnell's first self-produced and directed documentary, has been screened worldwide in several festivals and film houses. The film explored Black Americans' desires to escape American tyranny for safer lands. Since, Darnell has created works that explore death, mental illness, education, art, and revolution.
Born in the U.S. in Charlottesville, Virginia to Doreen Wells (Larry Wells) and Perry Jones and raised by a village that didn't quite understand the world he was after but were amazingly supportive anyway, Darnell advocates for the voice of all people.
"I want to always create and fight," Darnell Lamont Walker says.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Darnell Lamont Walker
- Sometimes our walls exist just to see who has the strength to knock them down.
- If you weren't built for this life, you'd be dead by now. i think the problem is people don't share enough of their pain with the world, so they never know who else is in pain, too, and what others are going through. we're never really alone in anything.
- And like that, I said goodbye to my grandmother like we were two people who met in a coffee shop, shared a lifetime of stories and left wanting more, but knowing we'd meet there again.
- Try evolving as much as you cry.
- The walls around the hood keep the people on the inside from the changes on the outside.
