Executive producers Jay-Z, Dream Hampton, and Wyatt Cenac present Terence Nance’s explosively creative debut feature, AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF HER BEAUTY.
With arresting insight, vulnerability, and a delightful sense of humor, the film utilizes a tapestry of live action and multiple styles of animation as it documents the relationship between Terence (Nance) and a lovely young woman (Namik Minter) as it teeters on the divide between platonic and romantic. Blurring the line between narrative, documentary, and experimental film, the film explores the fantasies, emotions, and memories that race through Terence’s mind as he examines and re-examines a singular moment in time.
Check here to see when “An Oversimplification of Her Beauty” is in your town.

Ta-Ku x Well Dressed Vandals for New Era Producer Series
With an intimidating body of work amassing, spearheaded by the current Bandcamp charting release Re-Twerk, Perth’s Ta-ku is showing no signs of slowing down with co-signs from Gas Lamp Killer, Salva, Baauer, Shigeto, Flosstradamus, Nina Las Vegas, JJJ Next Crop, Nosaj Thing to name a few.
From an early output of dusty beat samples, this disciple of The Ummah can cut and chop Hip-Hop beats in his sleep, yet it is his current material which shows a dancefloor edge not yet heard from the producer.
In this third video installment for the New Era Producers series, we gain an insight into the creative workings of one of Australia’s most promising music-makers whilst also discovering the thought process that went into the design of Ta-Ku’s 5 panel cap, created in collaboration with Well Dressed Vandals.
Additional filming by Daniel Dunn
