His film delves into the significant contributions of Black collectors\, artists\, writers and creators from the Golden Age of comics through today. \n\n\n\nCollections in Black will play at The Lindsay on Thursday\, June 18\, at 7:30 p.m. Thompson will display a few physical examples of Black excellence in this genre and lead an in-person Q&A following the screening. Tickets are free\, and we recommend RSVPing via the the below sign-up form due to space limitations. \n\n\n\n“This documentary was important to me because there hasn’t been anything like it\,” says Thompson. “I’ve been a fan of comics and comic collecting all my life. For me\, the most important thing in this was to make sure we got the history right\, because I felt like that is something that isn’t always done.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThompson is a Penn Hills native and accomplished DJ\, music producer\, filmmaker and art curator. The 33 and a Third Media founder has been working in the documentary space for more than 25 years. The Archive\, his first film that showcases Pittsburgh’s hip-hop landscape\, premiered in 2000 at the Andy Warhol Museum. \n\n\n\nAn abridged version of Collections in Black featured in an art exhibition that also displayed an unprecedented amount of artwork\, unique items and other artifacts representing Black comic book culture. The exhibit has appeared in multiple venues nationwide—including Downtown’s August Wilson African American Cultural Center. \n\n\n\nThe documentary includes interviews with artists from across the country\, spotlights important Black figures in comic book history\, and documents some of America’s rarest comic and art collections. \n\n\n\nThompson referred to Pittsburgh as “the mecca of Black comic creators.” He pointed to the original Pittsburgh Courier\, which ran some of the first Black comic strips; Jackie Ormes\, considered to be America’s first Black woman cartoonist; and Matt Baker\, a graphic novel pioneer who Thompson believes is “one of the greatest artists of all time.” \n\n\n\nHe said that Collections in Black was “actually shot to be shown in theaters” and hopes that Pittsburghers check out this “historical love letter to the culture” at The Lindsay. \n\n\n\n“I wanted to tell the story of those who have paved the way and who are currently doing the thing\, who don’t necessarily get the respect and the props that they’re due\,” says Thompson. “And also\, I wanted to make sure that people actually knew that we existed in this space\, and not only did we exist in this space\, we played such a big part in this space.” \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n Emerging Filmmakers Showcase COLLECTIONS IN BLACK June 18\, 2026 Reservation Sign Up\n \n \n NameThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Number of Tickets(Required)Phone Number(Required)Email(Required)\n \n Any Special Accommodations (Seating Accessibility\, etc.)?

This talk will begin at 7:30 p.m.\, and the showing will start promptly at 8 p.m. He’ll discuss his career\, a steadicam operator’s actual job description and what it’s like to shoot a Spielberg film. \n\n\n\nDisclosure Day is Spielberg’s return to extraterrestrial-related cinema. The film’s title refers to a potential turning point in human history brought about by a whistleblower’s efforts to unravel a massive government conspiracy and reveal the existence of alien life. This highly anticipated summer release stars Emily Blunt\, Josh O’Connor\, Colman Domingo and Colin Firth. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMoyer is a Sewickley Academy and Ithaca College graduate who has been working in the camera departments of major film and television productions since the late 1980s. His long list of credits includes 1995’s Sudden Death\, 1999’s Dogma\, 2006’s Rocky Balboa\, the HBO drama Boardwalk Empire\, 2012’s The Avengers\, 2017’s The Post\, 2021’s In the Heights and 2025’s The Housemaid. \n\n\n\nHe has previously regaled Lindsay audiences with stories from his time on the sets of 2021’s West Side Story remake\, 2023’s Pittsburgh-shot dramedy A Man Called Otto and this year’s The Devil Wears Prada 2. Moyer also worked on two other major 2026 releases: Coyote vs. Acme\, a live-action Looney Tunes adventure; and How to Rob a Bank\, a Pittsburgh-filmed heist thriller. \n\n\n\nA member of the Society of Camera Operators\, Moyer proudly serves on the board of governors\, nominating committee and education committee. Also a member of the Steadicam Operators Association\, he instructs and mentors young and newly invested steadicam operators.  \n\n\n\n“The mentoring part is very important\,” Moyer told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2021. “I have to give back. If someone gets inspired and wants to continue or do a career in the business\, I’m happy to be a part of that to open their eyes to it.” URL:https://thelindsaytheater.org/event/disclosure-day-introduction-w-steadicam-operator-buzz-moyer/ CATEGORIES:Community Partnerships,Guest Speaker ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thelindsaytheater.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/1G1B1583-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
