How to Catch Creation

Four artists in the Bay Area find their lives unexpectedly intertwined — with each other’s and with the life of a black queer feminist writer from the 1960s — in this story that challenges our definitions of love, family and what it means to create.

Directed by Nataki Garrett, How to Catch Creation leans on a strong ensemble — Chris Butler, Christiana Clark, Nubia Monks — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
