  He's Changing The BLACK NARRATIVE IN FILM His Way feat. LUQMAN (SZN 7: EP 30) 10.09.2026 46min

  In Season 7, Episode 30 of No Label The Podcast, Danté sits down with filmmaker, director, DJ, artist, and founder of 22REFORM, LUQMAN, for an in-depth conversation about his journey becoming one of the most prominent filmmakers in Western New York and the evolution of his creativity beyond the camera.Luqman takes us back to his beginnings shooting music videos and growing up in Buffalo, attending City Honors from middle school through high school before enrolling at the University at Buffalo to study engineering. Eventually, he made the decision to leave college and bet on himself, pursuing filmmaking full-time and turning what began as a creative passion into a career.Danté and Luqman break down how both the film and music video industries have changed over the years, from advancements that have made filmmaking more accessible to some of the negative effects those changes have had on creativity, quality, and the value of the craft. They also have an honest conversation about the darker reputation surrounding the "Buffalo cameraman" scene and how Luqman has intentionally remained genuine, professional, and solid in an industry where those qualities matter just as much as talent.But filmmaking is only one side of his creativity. Luqman discusses his passion for DJing and making music, how he balances all three disciplines without burning himself out, and why exploring different mediums continues to fuel his creativity. He also breaks down some of his biggest filmmaking and visual influences, ranging from Michael Jackson to Quentin Tarantino, and how those inspirations have helped shape his approach to storytelling.The conversation also gets into some of Luqman's favorite conspiracy theories, before diving into the bigger vision behind 22REFORM. He explains the importance of changing how Black people are portrayed on screen and his goal of using the agency to create imagery and stories that challenge stereotypes while giving Black subjects greater control over how they're represented.Luqman also gives us a look at what's next, announcing an upcoming short film and another major step outside of what many people know him for—his debut EP, POSER.From dropping out of engineering school to building a name behind the camera and now expanding into film, DJing, music, and his own media agency, this conversation is about trusting your creative instincts and refusing to put yourself in one box.Interview conducted by Danté.Presented by No Label The Podcast.
