Chinonye Chukwu’s feature drama Till for MGM’s Orion and United Artists Releasing will be honored with the Stanley Kramer Award at the 34th annual Producers Guild Awards, taking place at The Beverly Hilton on February 25, 2023.
Named after the director-producer responsible for some of the most pivotal social issue films in American history — including Inherit the Wind, On the Beach, The Defiant Ones and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner — the Stanley Kramer Award recognizes a production, producer, or other individuals whose achievement or contribution illuminates and raises public awareness of important social issues. Past recipients of the award include Rita Moreno and Jane Fonda, as well as such films as Get Out, Loving, Fruitvale Station, The Normal Heart, The Hunting Ground, An Inconvenient Truth and Hotel Rwanda.
Written by Michael Reilly & Keith Beauchamp and Chukwu, Till tells the story of Mamie Till-Mobley (Danielle Deadwyler), whose pursuit of justice for her 14-year-old son Emmett Louis Till (Jalyn Hall) became a galvanizing moment that helped lead to the creation of the civil rights movement. Emmett Till, of course, was the African American teenager who was abducted, tortured and lynched in 1955 Mississippi, after being accused of a flirtatious interaction with the white woman, Carolyn Bryant, posthumously becoming a civil rights icon. Mamie’s decision to have an open casket at Emmett’s funeral, and to have Jet magazine publish David Jackson’s funeral photos, was driven by her motivation to ensure people everywhere knew what had happened to her son.
Released in theaters on October 14 after world premiering at the New York Film Festival, and later winning Deadwyler the Gotham Award for Outstanding Lead
