STOLEN SCHOOL confronts the reality that desegregation wasn’t good for everyone.
In 1967, the local school district in Evanston, IL “desegregated” its schools by closing Foster School, the all-Black neighborhood school in the historically Black 5th ward. For nearly 60 years, children who live there have been bussed all across Evanston. Stolen School features the voices and stories of Foster School students, 5th Ward residents, educators, civil servants, and activists who describe their devastating losses and chronicle their ongoing fight to get their school back.
Screening tomorrow @nublockmuseum — RSVP in bio!

I’ve had the pleasure of serving this project as an Executive Producer, and opening weekend has begun! Starting today (6/14), you can catch Ghostlight in select theaters in Chicago, NY, and LA, then a national release on 6/21. Hit the link in my bio to find a theater near you! Big thanks to @ifcfilms and congrats to @kellyooonooo & @alexthompson416 on another huge success! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is a special one. It’s been quite the year, but there’s always goodness nearby to appreciate. Big love to my friends, family, and teammates in creation — I’m grateful to experience this thing called life with you. Here’s to another 45, at minimum. 🙏🏾❤️😎
It’s that time of year in production where there’s a RUSH to wrap up projects, and a bit of a HUSH from potential new clients. C’est La Vie. We should be used to it by now.
That said, we’re open for business through December 21st, then it’s break time. Reach out for all of your production needs 🎥🎬✊🏾
Hit the website for some of our recent work!

Last week, I had the pleasure of moderating a master class in directing with filmmaker Chinonye Chukwu (Clemency, Till) for @chifilmfest Chicago Industry Exchange (CIX) program. It was an excellent conversation that not only covered her process & practice as a director, but how she maintains mental wellness for herself, cast, and crew on set. It was an honest, and often hilarious conversation – and we both found out that we're Temple Alum! But, of course :)
Big thanks to @antkaufman11201 & @jdnorry for the invite! Shouts to the homie @enstrumental for falling through!

Good people — we hope that you’ve been taking care of yourselves, inside and out. In the spirit of survival, here’s a look at a recent project we recently wrapped featuring some of the strongest, and most beautiful people we’ve had the pleasure to work with. It was an honor to tell their stories.
But Yet, They Rise, seeks to elevate Black women’s experiences and highlight their stories of survivorship. The film was produced as part of the Patient Advocate Foundation’s (PAF) Ignite Campaign which focuses on raising awareness of the impact of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) on Black women. ❤️🖤💚
