As an African American woman, I definitely understand the importance of “seeing yourself” doing things you aspire to do. Industries like sports have made huge leaps with black representation on the field, court or otherwise. Film, however, is still very much behind the times not only when it comes to representation but recognition as well for the many contributions African Americans have made to the industry. So, through this project my goal is to highlight the hidden nuances that play big roles in why the American film industry is not where it needs to be.

This definitely doesn't come without the personal struggles endured by black filmmakers as they navigate their creative careers.</p>

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO...
<p>In 2002 Halle Berry became the first black woman to receive the Academy Award for Best Actress and since then, she has been the only black woman ever to receive one. There has yet to be a black director to win an Academy Award for Best Director and from 1975-1981 not one person of color was nominated for any award…at all.
