Captive State
After his breakout performance as the teenage Chiron in Barry Jenkins’ Oscar winner “Moonlight,” Ashton Sanders has a jam-packed movie schedule, with the recent opening of “The Equalizer 2” with Denzel Washington and the upcoming “Native Son” and “Captive State” (the latter with John Goodman and Vera Farmiga). Sanders is also a burgeoning fashion icon and spoke with Variety about his work with designer Jessie Jamz.
I play a young man, Miles, who is without a father, and Denzel becomes a mentor to him. They start to build a bond that they both end up needing. “Captive State” was a totally different experience — a sci-fi thriller. I play Gabriel, who ends up becoming a savior of sorts to a revolution at a time when aliens have infiltrated the Earth. I was halfway finished with filming that when the “Moonlight” buzz and the Oscars were happening. I shot a couple of scenes that morning, then flew to L.A. for the Oscars and flew back the next day so I could finish filming.
