The LUDI Film Tour is officially over!

First off we want to thank our incredible sponsors who made the LUDI Film tour possible.

Ayiti Community Trust
Oolite Arts
Baptist Health South Florida
Miami-Dade County
Pompano Beach Cultural Center
Florida Department of Cultural Affairs

Through their support we hosted screenings in Little Haiti, Delray Beach, Coral Gables, Pompano Beach, Hollywood, and now Orlando.

They supported bringing authentic Haitian representation to communities throughout our region and we are so grateful to them.

We'd also like to thank those of you who attended a screening. A film isn't complete until an audience experiences it. You completed it...so thank you!

We'll be in touch soon with news on future projects. In the meantime, keep making culture.
