The Postwoman
(J.D. Walker)
Written and directed by J.D. Walker, “The Postwoman” (Run time: 20 minutes) is a comedic tale which chronicles the life of Nia (Mahasin Munir), a 30s graphic designer, who is unhappy in her current relationship. Seeking affirmation and purpose, Nia develops a crush on her neighborhood Postwoman (Tish MacCullough) who shows her the true meaning of unconditional love.
Filmed on location in Oakland and San Francisco, California, “The Postwoman” was complete in 16 weeks. The project began during Fall 2009 and was fully funded by Walker with a total budget of $2500.00. Walker’s first film is an ambitious one, as she served as writer, director, cinematographer, and editor of her short piece.
Originally, from Oakland, California, Walker graduated magna cum laude from San Francisco State University, where she studied Theater. She received both her Masters and Ph.D. with distinction in African American and Caribbean Literature from Howard University.
Walker has published two books of her own, 101 Ways Black Women Can Learn to Love Themselves and Signifyin’ Me: New and Selected Poems. Although she freelances for a number of different magazines and newspapers, she considers filmmaking her true passion. Walker’s desire is to direct and write more feature-length films. She aims to turn “The Postwoman” into a TV series or feature length film. Walker is currently seeking distribution and funding.
Walker decided to direct the short film because she feels as though the complex and myriad stories of women of color, who are in the life, have yet to be told.
