Each of our voices are valuable in this world, so don't be afraid to use it!

Show your support today that a world with consistent Black stories in it matters! ⁠

Shine a light on em! Our BTFC Makers are working hard and we love amplifying your work. Today's member highlight BTFC MAKER Roberta Pyzel. ⁠

Born in Oakland and raised in California and New York City, Roberta grew up during a time of powerful social upheavals that taught her to believe in the power of Grassroots activism. That and Social Justice are a common theme in her short films. Her short, SHADOW MAN shows the human cost of the injustice in our American 'justice' system. It has appeared in festivals, on streaming platforms (ASPIRE TV), and at a multiplex theater in NYC (2023 NY PAUSE FILM FESTIVAL)! Pyzel is currently working on a full-length documentary based on interviews with ANDREA DWORKIN, an American radical feminist writer and activist best known for her analysis of the complicated layers of po*******hy in America.⁠

“I successfully crowdfunded my last project. It took lots of asking for help and the BTFC community came through. We were able to hire so many up and coming Black artists. That’s what collective action Is all about and why it’s so Important to support Black storytellers and producers. We hire other Black people more than others.”⁠

Their Stories, Your Impact.⁠

Writer/Director/Actress Latasha Mercer joined the BTFC with a goal to sell an original pilot to a major network or studio. She honed her script in our writers workshops, and was selected as one of 14 talented mid-level film and series writers to participate in pipeline partnership with Netflix. She was awarded her first script development deal, where she will have the opportunity to work with Netflix executives and go through a Showrunner training lab. This career changing experience gave Latasha a shot she’s been working so hard for, and set her on the path to a Showrunner, the most senior writer role in television. Only 4% of Showrunners in Hollywood are Black, so this is an impactful step for the BTFC towards seeing our vision for greater parity in the film and television production industries become reality. ⁠

Come hear stories of hope and inspiration like Latasha's. You'll feel when you tune into our Giving Tuesday Love Letter Telethon.

It's 4 days away so hurry and register via the link https://bit.ly/49OjDTF.

Your Contribution, Their Transformation⁠

Dolapo Olorode joined the BTFC and gave $1K. Her donation enabled the BTFC to provide vital micro-grants to our Producers Fellows who lacked the personal resources to pay the submission fees to submit their completed projects to film festivals across the world. Screening in key film festivals is a crucial factor in providing mid-career Black Creatives the industry recognition and prestige to sway getting a Yes for that next level opportunity. This funding enabled each producer to double their number of submissions, and multiplied the success of their festival runs. The films screened at prestigious global and national film festivals including Urbanworld Film Festival, ABFF Film Festival, Pan-African Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival: Diversity in Film, and the Micheaux Film Festival. One film was an ABFF HBO Short Film Competition Finalist, and another was nominated for an NAACP Image Award. ⁠

We thank Dolapo aka for showing her love to the BTFC with financial support. This is a powerful example of the impact of your donations. Your contributions today will fund the transformation of our members. ⁠

Please support the BTFC by tuning in to our love letters telethon and giving money to invest in a better future that advocates for Black stories! ⁠

“Don’t let anything stop you from creating.” ⁠
-BTFC MAKER member Sydney Denise ⁠

It was in this spirit that the BTFC community was built. Despite constantly being told you need more experience or you need more connections or you need more money by mainstream Hollywood, our members didn't let that stop them from making their projects and telling their stories. ⁠

Why? Imagine a world where the screen echoes a silence, a blank space where the rich stories of our community should be. It's a world less colorful, less vibrant, less true. ⁠

That's the scene we're here to prevent. Your support isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about ensuring that every hue of our diverse experiences is seen and heard.⁠

Our community is stronger when we stand together. Support our work by giving to the BTFC this year on Giving Tuesday!⁠

So whether you're almost safely to your destination, just logging off your computer at home, or getting down in the kitchen cooking your last sweet potato pie, we hope you will take a moment to say a short word of thanks on our behalf for this amazing teams hard work.⁠

In our newsletter last week, reminds us to "believe in the power of small things". Sometimes our goals can feel overwhelming because as creatives we usually dream big. But remember, very seldom in life is success actualized through some ‘grand plan’ or single step. It's a process, usually an amalgamation of small steps and doing the little things that eventually lead to the bigger things.

And here’s a trick: If your goal feels overwhelming, find a smaller unit of action. Examine how the idea of taking that step makes you feel. If you still feel worried, break it down further. If the idea of writing a book seems daunting then start by researching book formats, or buying a journal to write the first sentence of your first paragraph. No matter how small the step, it’s progress.
