Run, Fool!: A Conversation with Rodney Barnes

I sat down with Rodney Barnes and he shared with me his wisdom from years in the TV and Film industry. Everything from how to balance comedy and horror to what it takes to get a project to a screen, big or small.

Rodney Barnes is an award-winning writer, producer, and comic book creator whose vibrant, emphatic

voice has established him as a Hollywood mainstay.

Barnes was most recently an executive producer and writer for HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the

Lakers Dynasty, chronicling the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Showtime Lakers.

His publishing imprint, Zombie Love Studios, is dedicated to storytelling through unique BIPOC

perspectives, including Killadelphia—nominated for an Eisner Award, Blacula—an adaptation of the cult

horror classic, and Monarch—an apocalyptic sci-fi adventure series following a group of Compton school

kids in the midst of an alien invasion.
