I guess we're looking more forward this week for The FOFIF rather than back for our anniversary which really says something, doesn't it? So proud of @karinadandashi for this one & happy that we share in its glory with @NiceShoesOnline & @sweinerspeaks. ๐ค
It's that time again! Submissions for our second short film grant cycle of the year are now open through November 14 and we can't wait to see your work!

@ElisaSDavis @karinadandashi @AyaHamdan Not sure if you noticed this but Karina Dandashi and Aya Hamadan (CC Alum) are one of the awarded projectsโฆ ๐ช๐ฝ๐๐ฅ
@JanetMaslin@jbfc_ny Love to you as well @JanetMaslin โค๏ธ Have always appreciated your support and encouragement. In fact, as a 90s teen in Providence who avidly read The Phoenix and your quotes on VHS covers at the video store on Thayer Street, I feel honored to have received it.
Creative Culture was built upon a philosophy of inclusion and collaboration. Itโs a great way to make things together (beyond just films).
Be kind to one another! โ๐ฝ๐
Todayโs my last day @jbfc_ny
Unsure whatโs next but I intend to continue the fulfilling work of championing talented, kind, and essential artists.
Thanks to the artists, the audience, the supporters, and my unstoppable colleagues. Itโs been an honor to spend time together.
Watch the teaser for my next short film, GRACE!โจ๐ฅ๐
Grace is a queer film and period piece about Black girlhood in 1957. It's a story about faith, hot combs, peach picking, and summer love.

Thought Iโd share a little bit about the inspiration behind my new short film, GRACE๐ฅโจ๐ #giveusGRACE
It really all started with my grandmother. As a child she moved to New York during the Great Migration, but every summer she would go visit family down south.
