HBO “Between the world and me”

Ta-Nehisi Coates Between the World and Me is an impactful book about the Black experience in America. The narrative is something that I navigate daily.
It was an honor to be apart of the team at Buck to help craft such an impactful piece.
A collection of photography, illustration, and typography are woven throughout to create a trailer for the HBO special.
