Hi Facebook Family! My non profit organization Black Film Space had an amazing year of growth! We held a short film contest for our largest grant to date, we hosted our first symposium, we reintroduced our sexy summer mixer, had several events in Los Angeles, had our first HBCU panel at Clark ATL, and hosted an incredible, inspiring awards ceremony in the midst of a VERY shaky industry climate.

We want to sustain our impact of empowering Black storytellers and are having a crowdfunding campaign for our 2024 plans. We are coming BIGGER AND BOLDER. I truly believe in the power of media and always have since I was a teen. I am proud of the work we do and we got an army of almost 30k creators who are aligned with our mission/vision!

If you can donate ANY amount you have to support us, we would really appreciate it. Thank you so much for liking, sharing, commenting and supporting my many initiatives. Trust me, it doesn't go unnoticed.

2023 was A LOT...let's pray for a better 2024! Happy Holidays and stayed blessed xoxo

Build Black Cinema Support Black Film Space in our mission of enhancing the careers of Black filmmakers
