Looking for a genre director on the rise in a big way? Let me direct you to Nanny helmer, Nikyatu Jusu. Not only is her feature directorial debut getting showered in praise on the festival circuit, but she’s also got her next production lined up with Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw and Universal. Nanny stars Anna Diop as Aisha, a woman from Senegal working as a nanny in New York City. Initially, Aisha sees hope in her new position caring for the daughter of Michelle Monaghan’s type-A working mom, especially because that gig will help her earn the money necessary to bring her own son, Lamine, over to the states. However, soon after starting the job, Aisha finds her world crumbling as she’s haunted by a violent presence that threatens to destroy her American dream. With Nanny celebrating its international premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Jusu, Diop, Monaghan, and Sinqua Walls who plays Malik, a building doorman Aisha develops a relationship with, all swung by the Collider Supper
