‘Lil Nas X – Long Live Montero’ featuring Zac Manuel

TV & Film

‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero’ is the latest in a long line of music documentaries that in this instance turns the spotlight on full to one of the biggest queer hip hop and popstars in the game. Zac Manuel is an award–winning, New Orleans bred-and-based filmmaker and his work in documentary and music video explores intimacy, Black masculinity, class, identity and inheritance. Zac was our special guest on the show to discuss his role as the co-director of this film, his insight in to the world of Montero Lamar Hill a.k.a Lil Nas X and much more.

We also revisited our interview from May 2022 with Bradley & Pablo, the directors of ‘Charli XCX: Alone Together’ which covered the production of Charli XCX’s 2020 quarantine album “How I’m Feeling Now” which was created in 40 days during the COVID-19 pandemic, including its semi-collaborative nature with her community of online fans.
