Chike Ozah (who was born and raised in the city) and his directing partner Clarence “Coodie” Simmons’ resume includes collaborations with Kanye West, Pitbull and Erykah Badu, as well as critically acclaimed features such as the ESPN 30-for-30 Benji and Muhammad Ali: The People’s Champ, which took home the 2016 NAACP image award.
