Did you know that more Black film has been made in the past 20 years than in the previous 80 years combined?

However, most universities that teach black film history rely on texts over 20 years old. Spike Lee's books about the making of his first five films are all out of print.

Did you know there are a whole generation of filmmakers of color who are harnessing the power of digital techology and internet distribution to create work that reaches their audiences unfiltered?

However, the most recent documentaries about about Black Film have centered on Blaxploitation and Nigerian Films. There is no feature-length work that documents the current landscape of African-American film.

We need a documentary to help us understand the struggle Black Filmmakers have gone through, the obstacles that exist today and what we must do to overcome them. We cannot wait another decade for Ken Burns to tell this story. It is time for BLACK FILM NOW.
