A short trailer for our own Makiah Stephens’ award-winning mini-documentary will premiere at the Black Music City Summer Celebration event on Friday, August 15 at 5:00 at REC Studios.
We’re really looking forward to her unique take on these legends of Philly’s Black music scene.
Our amazingly-talented new digital associate, Nasir Pitts, has a film project he’s been working on for a few months. He hasn’t shown it to us yet, but an early version screened over the weekend at the “Black Folx in Film” festival hosted by Camden Fireworks. He promises to let us see it when it’s “ready.” When he does, we’ll share it here, too.
One of our most meaningful recent projects was developing the messaging, website and multimedia content for Philadelphia Joy Bank, a pioneering pilot effort to provide basic income support to expecting families through the child’s first year. Still only part way through the pilot, the Philadelphia Citizen provides an update on just how life-changing this program has already been.
