CHAMELEON STREET is a film, if you haven’t seen already, you need to watch now. It’s critical and indispensable, and totally unwinds Black identity in white spaces in a radical way that few films have barely approached since.

Chameleon Street is a unique and haunting film, combining elements of biography, drama, and psychological thriller to paint a disturbing portrait of a man relentlessly reinventing himself. thrillist.com/entertainment/…

Harris reveals the intention of his film—to show us the portrait of a man shaped by the conditions of American capitalism and exacerbated by the anti-Black racism it’s built on. thrillist.com/entertainment/…

"Street is a chameleon, mimicking the remorseless greed, blind ambition, and merciless dehumanization that characterizes his environment." thrillist.com/entertainment/…

"While watching Chameleon Street, only one other film came to mind: 1993’s Six Degrees of Separation, which tells the story of another Black male con artist who began scamming in the '80s not long after Street." thrillist.com/entertainment/…

"In refreshing contrast, Harris never feels the need to humanize the people Street manipulates. . .Chameleon Street is a horror film about the kind of monster who hides in plain sight, blending in perfectly with the society that made him." thrillist.com/entertainment/…
