#BIPOC

Our mission is create spaces of joy and healing for the Black and Brown community of Portland OR. Our collaborative is Pro-Black, Pro-Femme, Pro-Queer and centers those identities at every event. We believe that liberation will come from art, self-love and community.

The vibes was vibing that day!!✨

In the film industry that often overlooks us, we take up space, we claim our vision, and we tell our own stories. These portraits aren’t just headshots—they’re reflections of the multifaceted identities we hold as filmmakers and directors. Empowering. Bold. Uncompromising.

The Directing Demystified workshop was about more than creating accessibility through sharing knowledge; it was also about community—lifting each other up, sharpening our voices, and making sure the world sees what we already know: we belong here.

Meet the Directors. Follow their work. Support their voices.
