Based on true events, 'Voodoo Macbeth' tells the story of an all-Black cast coming together to create something revolutionary and is now considered a landmark event in African-American theatrical history.
John Houseman’s determination to create a production of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” at the Lafayette Theater.
The film was shot in 25 days through a collaboration of 8 writers, 10 directors, 3 producers and a large ensemble cast and crew. The writers and directors are all students and many of the rest of the crew and people working on the film are USC alumni, working on the film in department head positions often for the first time.
“I really think all of the actors, all the department heads, all the crew members were just so phenomenal in their own way and they brought such a great level of professionalism and commitment to the project that as a producer I felt very great about because [I was] in charge of bringing this group of people together. Without them we could not have made the movie we have, it would have been totally impossible. We just had the mix of the perfect storm,” Phillips said.
Another hiccup in the release of the film was the pandemic. The first screening of the movie to friends and family happened in February 2020. After taking some downtime to adjust, producers remained vigilant and began submitting to festivals in the fall of 2020. At the Sedona International Film Festival Phillips met who would become the distributor of “Voodoo Macbeth” Arnie Holland, CEO of Lightyear Entertainment.
