Honoring Juneteenth by lifting up some of the most influential Black voices in theatre, film, and television—artists whose work has shaped American storytelling and expanded what is possible on stage and screen.

As storytellers, it is our responsibility to know this history, learn from these voices, and carry their influence forward in the work we create. Their legacy is not just something to study, but something to continue—through truth, rigor, and care in the stories we choose to tell. ❤️💛💚

Can we give it up for PJ Gaynard!? Thank you for everything you do for the Pittsburgh 48-Hour Film Project. You support and mentor countless artists and always lead with so much kindness and humor. We really appreciate how much you care about this community and I’m grateful to call you my friend.

🖐 Meet the actors in our Acting in Commercials Workshop!

📺 Sure, commercials are about selling a product (or an idea), but at their heart, they’re about offering a solution—making life a little easier, better, and more enjoyable. We’re mastering how to find that sweet spot where commercial acting feels real and relatable—making every product or idea come alive in a way people connect with.

👏 Great work, everyone!
