Creating and maintaining relationships in film and television keeps a hairstylist with Gainesville ties busy. Antoinette Black , who won an Emmy Award this year for her work on Disney's “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” recently served as head of the hair department on the film “Clean Hands.” The suspense thriller premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York in early June and is scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release Sept. 10. Black said she was selected for the role because of longstanding professional relationships. “I had worked with the producers on several previous projects, and over the years we established a great rapport and a lot of trust,” said Black, who has owned A Nu Twist Multicultural Hair Care Center in the Gainesville area for more than two decades. Working on the set of “Clean Hands” felt like working with family, Black said. “We lift each other up, encourage one another, and trust each other to do our jobs well,” Black said.

Kanye Clark calls first game in the Swamp 'a surreal moment'
Kanye Clark knows his opportunities in the Swamp are limited, which made his first appearance there a special moment. Clark reflected on his Florida debut and assessed his performance in the Gators’ 66-21 season-opening win over Florida Atlantic. He also discussed the challenges created by FAU’s rapid tempo and how the secondary can improve its communication and situational awareness. The UCLA transfer also touched on DJ Coleman’s leadership, Florida’s offseason conditioning program and what the defense expects from Campbell in Week 2. Here’s everything Clark had to say. What was your first experience in the Swamp like? It was a surreal moment. I’m very grateful for the opportunity. I won’t take it for granted, for sure.
