Biographical Note
Bridgett M. Davis is a novelist, essayist, independent filmmaker, educator, and
curator. She grew up on the northwest side of Detroit and graduated with a BA in
English from Spelman College in Atlanta and an MS in Journalism from Columbia
University.
Out of curiosity, Davis took a screenwriting course at New York University in 1991
and soon plunged into filmmaking. Rather than enrolling in film school, she learned
production from New York City’s non-profit media arts center. Her earlier works
included a 20-minute black & white period film,
Last
Wish
, and her 1992 short,
Creative Detours
(both produced by Third World Newsreel). The latter film premiered as part of the
D’Ghetto Eyes film series and was presented with the 1993 FILMSEARCH award by the
Brooklyn Arts Council (BACA). Davis also curated film projects for Baruch College,
CUNY’s Women of Color Network, and the non-profit I Have a Dream Foundation in
Harlem.
In 1994 Davis, wrote, produced, and directed
Naked
Acts,
a feature-length film which was distributed and marketed by Rob Fields
through his company Kindred Spirit Productions. The synopsis circulated by Kindred
Spirits Productions as part of the press kit summarized the film as follows:
"Naked Acts is an emotionally powerful drama
about a newly svelte young actress and her journey towards accepting the
body she once despised. Set within the demanding and revealing milieu of a
low-budget film shoot, this story explores a black woman's feelings about
her own sexuality, her own body-image and her own artistic passion."
In a letter to potential donors dated August 18, 1994, Davis explained part of her
motivation for making the film by simply stating "I've grown sick and tired of never
seeing black men and women portrayed in films who remind me of the black people I
know and love. Finally, I decided to something about it."
Davis began work on the film in 1994 and the first screening took place at the Black
Harvest International Film and Video Festival in Chicago in 1995. The theatrical
premiere of
Naked Acts was held at the historic Thalia
Theater in Manhattan on September 25, 1998. Due to a large and enthusiastic response
from audiences, the film ran for four weeks, breaking the theater's previous box
office records. The film was screened at over two dozen film festivals in the US,
Europe, Africa, Brazil, and Cape Verde and was later distributed on DVD in 2000 by
MTI Home Video. More recently, it was screened at the Indiana University Cinema on
September 29, 2014 in connection with a series of guest lectures by Renée Cox and
Davis.
A number of the actors and actress in the film went on to act in and/or make
additional films including Rodney Charles
(Tears of the
Sun,
African Cowboy,
On the Eightball), Ron C. Jones
(Half Nelson,
Sweet and Lowdown,
He Got
Game),
and Jake-Ann Jones
(Side Streets,
Norma’s Lament). Renée Cox continued to rise in her
career as a successful photograph and mixed media artist.
Despite its success with audiences, Davis found that the film's lack of major stars
and awards earned it a lukewarm reception from major distributors, forcing Davis to
handle much of the promotion and distribution work herself. As of 2014,
Naked acts was Davis’s last film. Although there are
references in the late '90s to another feature film project by Davis called
Abbey’s Road, but this doesn’t appear to have passed the
development stage. Davis did, however, serve on the selection committees for film
and screenplay competitions hosted by the New York Council of the Arts, the New York
Foundation for the Arts, and the Independent Feature Project.
During her early career, Davis’s was a newspaper reporter at The Philadelphia
Inquirer, Atlanta Journal & Constitution and her short fiction was included in
In the Tradition: An Anthology of Young Black
Writers
(1992). Since
Naked Acts she has
returned the focus of her energy to writing and her reviews and essays have been
published in
The Washington Post, Essence, O, Oprah Magazine,
TheRoot.com, The Chicago Tribune, New York Newsday, The Independent, Columbia
Journalism Review, Black Film Review, Wall Street Journal and The Detroit Free
Press
. Davis has published two novels and recently completed a third.
Shifting through Neutral was released by
Amistad/Harper Collins in 2004 and was the finalist for the Zora Neale
Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Award, a
Quarterly Black
Review
bestseller, and the recipient of the Go on Girl! Book Club’s 2005
New Author of the Year.
Into the Go-Slow was released
by the Feminist Press at CUNY in September 2014. Davis has also recently completed a
third novel,
Lagos, which is set in 1980s Nigeria and
based on her experiences with African media women.
In addition to her activities as a writer, Davis is the book editor of the
Bold as Love Magazine black culture site, founder and
curator of the
Sundays @ Brooklyn reading series, and a
founding member of
ringShout, a resource "dedicated to
recognizing, reclaiming and celebrating excellence in contemporary literary fiction
and nonfiction by black writers in the United States."
She continues to serve as a Professor of English at Baruch College, CUNY, where she
teaches creative writing and journalism courses within the Weissman School of Arts
and Sciences including journalistic criticism and fiction and screenwriting
workshops. She also serves as the director of the Sidney Harman Writer-in-Residence
Program and as the co-academic director of the Faculty Fellowship Publication
Program where she "facilitates writing workshops for female and minority faculty
seeking to complete and publish their creative works." In 2007, she was the
recipient of the Excellence in Education Award from the New York Association of
Black Journalists
Scope and Content Note
The Bridgett Davis
Naked Acts collection focuses on
Davis's activities as filmmaker from 1994 through 2009. The collection comprises
production materials, film elements, promotional materials, and press coverage
related to the film and Davis's role in its creation. The production materials
include Davis’s journal entries about the production, scripts, film elements, and
photographs of the cast and crew on set. The film elements include the 35 mm master
positives, mono audio tracks, interpositives, and internegatives used in the
creation of the film. The promotional materials include descriptive materials about
the film used for promotional and fundraising purposes, advertisements, post cards,
and press releases distributed for the 1998 theatrical release and 10th anniversary
festival screenings in 2008 and 2009 as well programs for additional festival
screenings that took place between 1995 and 1999. The majority of these latter
programs take the form of photocopied excerpts directly referencing Davis’s
participation or the screening of Naked acts as opposed to the original program in
full. Press coverage includes news articles and film reviews related to Davis and
Naked Acts published in a wide range of sources
predominantly between 1994 and 1998. The majority of these pieces are by female
authors and discuss the treatment of black female sexuality, stereotypes, and body
image in film and/or Davis’s success as a screenwriter and filmmaker.
