Sixx King says he wants Black love back on the silver screen. After directing Mothers of No Tomorrow, a short film following three Black women who lost their children to intracommunity violence, and two full-length movies — Once Upon a Time in Philly (2019) and Once Upon a Time in Philly Part 2 (2023) — the filmmaker set his sights on his most ambitious project to date. This summer, King released Jonesing: When Love is a Habit, a spiritual successor to the ‘90s Black cinematic classic Love Jones.
