Thank you to all of our "Willow" Supporters!

Let's take the time out for gratitude: Thanks to our supporters' contributions over the last three years, we were able to produce "Willow: State of Emergency,” which premiered at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, won the Best Short Film Award at Chicago's Black Film Fest, and screened on Juneteenth weekend at the Black-Owned Stuart Cinema Theater.

That continued support also enabled us to develop a TV series “Willow: House of Griots” that expands upon the film, and to host a stage reading of episodes 1-4 at Here Performing Arts Center.

And now, as we're fundraising to produce the one-hour pilot episode of "House of Griots," I can't help but feel incredibly grateful.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. This has been a tremendous journey, and I'm ecstatic to not only be at the helm of a talented and dedicated production team, but to also be a part of a community of supporters of the work itself.

If you'd like to join our community of supporters, follow the link in the photo, or just come to our inaugural Afrofuturist Vampire Dance Party, Dec 8th, 8:30pm at First Live (219 Central Ave., BK).

More announcements coming soon!
