Join the Conversation: Meet Local Filmmakers of the African Diaspora
Join the Seattle Film Commission and its commissioner of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), filmmaker and producer Anthony Tackett, for an essential and enlightening discussion. The "Inside Scoop" series hosts a monthly show to address topics relevant to the local film community. This month's event focuses on the challenges and successes of Black filmmakers.
This conversation provides a rare opportunity to hear from local legends of the African diaspora. Mr. Tackett emphasizes the importance of this event in demonstrating that filmmaking is a viable career option for everyone, not just a select group of people. The discussion will cover the challenges faced by filmmakers in Seattle, provide advice, and offer a space to build networks and find resources.
The event serves as a call to action, aiming to raise awareness about the talented, hardworking, and independent filmmakers who often go unseen. As Anthony Tackett noted in a recent interview, many Black filmmakers are working diligently to create self-sustaining economic models and have already earned significant accolades, including Emmys and Oscars.
Don't miss the chance to be part of this critical conversation, support local talent, and gain valuable insight into the film industry from a diverse perspective.
