WE TEACH FROM EXPERIENCE.
We’re filmmakers just like you and we share the strategies and techniques that have helped us produce masterful films.

The real starting point of a film career comes in the process of learning. True learning is a lifelong experience. We learn from school, online learning centers, fellow filmmakers, industry experts, conferences and film festivals, and, of course, the school of life. You’ll also learn tips, techniques, casting skills, camera tutorials and more right here at the Black Filmmaker’s Academy.
According to a 2015 Washington Post research project, Hollywood’s most notable filmmakers are 89% male and 84% Caucasian. In fact, of the hundreds of major Hollywood films released in the last decade, fewer than 7% had black directors. Why such a disparity when there are so many notable black directors putting out excellent films.

- Tyler Perry
