What we’re about
The Black TV & Film Collective started in 2015 with a small group of artists on a mission: friends helping friends create their projects. What started as a simple act to create work, given the dearth of opportunities for Black filmmakers, eventually blossomed into a dynamic and effective meetup group. Our very first office was located in a desolate industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.
By 2017, we were given 501(c)(3) non profit status, and it has been blue skies ever since. Our members hail from all over, including the continents of Africa, South America, and Europe. BTFC members work in front of the camera, behind the camera, and everywhere in between. Presently, we have members in 5 major media centers in North America: New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Raleigh and Toronto. As we grow, what continues to be at the heart of the Black TV & Film Collective, is friends helping friends create.
