🤫🎥 QUIET ON SET!

🎬 Yesterday, our incubator cohort member stepped onto set for the first day of filming her project. After three months of preparation — including screenwriting and directing mentorship with industry professionals — she built her team and brought her vision to life on set.

🎬 I ALMOST FORGOT… the title of her film says it all.

⭐️It was especially meaningful as we also had the honor of welcoming the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment Commissioner Rafael Espinal, who took the time to speak with her and support the next generation of filmmakers — as well as the Brooklyn Paper Publications, Inc. who interviewed Amber, Rafael and our co-founder and artistic director Ingrid Jean-Baptiste.

📍Watch the World Premiere this October at the 14th annual Chelsea Film Festival in New York!

🙌 A big thanks to our industry partner AbelCine for providing top of the line equipment each year and supporting BIPOC emerging filmmakers.
