Working as a close knit team ourselves, we’ve always been interested how creatives come together to achieve a fully realised vision. So, in association with @film.feels , we’re announcing “Creative Duos”, a pair of events which explores the creative partnerships of filmmakers who are producing brilliant work.

Joy Gharoro Akpojotor (Producer of last year’s Blue Story) and Koby Adom (Director of three episodes of BBC’s Noughts and Crosses) talk through their collaboration on their 2018 short “Haircut”, a project they are currently developing into a feature with @film4

Join the conversation on the 16th August on our YouTube Channel.

We wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all of you

We wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all of you who made #Whoweare such a success last week. If you watched a film, saw a conversation online, read an article, or told someone about the takeover, we appreciate it.

Special thanks goes to @gracesimone_ , @kimlovesfilms @1yarei @britishfilminstitute and the teams @bfinetwork and @bfifilmacademy

As special as the takeover was, we believe that the hard work starts now. We want to use this as a starting point to begin fast tracking the provision of increased opportunities for Black Filmmakers in this country.

This is hopefully the first step to making that a reality.

This is Who We Are 🖤
