Nia DaCosta
At the young age of 29 years old, Nia DaCosta is sure to be the next big thing. The screenwriter and director released her first film last year, Little Woods, starring Tessa Thompson and Lily James. The film was one of only 12 projects chosen for the 2015 Screenwriters and Directors Labs, proving this young director’s talent. DaCosta’s career is just beginning and she is set to direct the 2020 remake of the horror film Candyman, produced by horror genius Jordan Peele.
