Representing women as sex workers can be done in a transformative manner. Deconstructing ideologies that work to create a fixed image of Black women as sex works would require great attention to cultural/historical context. After watching Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep, utilizing visual poetics and juxtapositions would be a necessary component. A transformative film like this might initially be read as degrading; the sociocritical intent runs the risk of being consumed by immediate presumptions and accusations associated with cinema in general. Perhaps a woman could direct this film. But, if it's too arty it wont sell. Similarly, if it's too commercial it might loose that "independent" edge. I think narrative structure, aspects of production/post-production, actors and actresses and publicity will be crucial to the film's success by the director's conceptual initiative. It's more than just a "transformative" depiction on screen, but how it becomes to exist as piece for public consumption that will determine the film's relevance.
