Were Horace Ové and Luis Valdez both writers?
Horace Ové Horace Ové, CBE (born 1939), is a British filmmaker, photographer, painter and writer, one of the leading black independent film-makers to emerge in Britain since the post-war period. Ové holds the "Guinness World Record" for being the first black British film-maker to direct a feature-length film, "Pressure" (1975). In its retrospective history, "100 Years of Cinema", the British Film Institute (BFI) declared: "Horace Ové is undoubtedly a pioneer in Black British history and his work provides a perspective on the Black experience in Britain."
