Langston Hughes African American Film Festival 2008

When life doesn’t turn out the way you expect it, sometimes the best thing you can do is laugh. Comedian Keith Price knows that lesson all too well, having encountered not only wildly enthusiastic cheers, but also less-than-supportive jeers in both his personal and professional life as an out African-American comic. The flamboyantly funny co-host of Sirius Radio’s OutQ in the Morning, Price is given the spotlight in EBONY CHUNKY LOVE: BITCH CAN’T GET A DATE, a documentary that takes a look at Price’s struggles to get noticed both in relationships and in his solo stand-up comedy career. Seattle filmmaker Lonnie Tristan Renteria’s inquisitive documentary uses clips of Price’s act, interviews, and analysis by scholars to offer perspectives on the issues of popular culture
