Marquise Mays is an award-winning filmmaker and media scholar based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He holds a M.A in Cinema and Media Studies from the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California (USC) and a B.A in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison). He is currently an Associate Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee teaching the foundations of non-fiction film. As an independent filmmaker and film studies scholar, both Marquise's films and research are careful renderings of individual Black life on- and off-screen. His method consists of presenting a cinematic work that intimately surveys the conditions of Black Americans living in the Midwest, with the intent to capture the humanity of individual subjects with precision and integrity.
