Spilled Milk has been officially selected as part of the Oscar-qualifying HBO Short Film Award Showcase at the 30th Annual American Black Film Festival!
Still taking this one in. 🙏🏾
Honored that Spilled Milk received the Audience Award for Best Short Narrative at the 34th Annual Pan African Film Festival. Being able to share this film in a room full of community, conversation, laughter, and reflection was an unforgettable experience.
Deep gratitude to PAFF for creating such a powerful space for Black storytelling, and to the incredible filmmakers whose work screened alongside ours. It was truly inspiring to be surrounded by so many bold, thoughtful, and visionary voices pushing culture forward.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, watched, connected with the film, and voted. Moments like this remind us why we tell stories in the first place.
Extremely grateful for the journey, the people, and the community that continues to carry this film forward. 🥛

Did you know that the very first assembly of photographs to create a motion picture was a two-second clip of a Black man on a horse? 🐎
Congrats to our High Horse fam on their NAACP nomination ⭐️🫶🏾
No matter where the river takes me, just know you can always count on me and my cohorts to center Black Culture. For us, the truth is forever En Vogue. HIGH HORSE is a special one because it took everything our team had, pride had to be packed away, courage had to be summoned, at times we were forced to keep the flame that was our passion lit. I want to send big love to EVERYONE that was a part of the journey because without every soul’s contribution, this release would not have been possible. We hope you enjoy it because we truly gave all we had and little more. See yall November 20th on @peacock
Dear Whack, your artistry is an immaculate blend of beauty, energy, creativity and truth. On camera or on a mic, you build community at the drop of a hat. When the dust settles, you’ll be one of my most fond memories of @himmovie . Thank you for making premiere night special!

His career accelerated through roles at Deluxe Film Services and a pivotal 2010 internship at Overbrook Entertainment, where he spent a decade rising from intern to Vice President. During this time, he produced acclaimed projects including “SPRINTER” (ABFF winner, African Academy Award nominee), “HALA” (Sundance and TIFF selection), Disney’s “ALADDIN,” and Netflix’s “AMEND.”
At Monkeypaw Productions, Watson continued championing diverse voices through projects like the “SCARE TACTICS” reboot and upcoming film “HIM” (September 2025). He also launched a music label imprint with Interscope Records, expanding his influence across entertainment sectors.
