Urban World Film Festival Panel || A League of Their Own: Creating Beyond the Gaze

Their creativity is not tempered by the fact it may be lost amongst the white perspective — they unapologetically make their voices heard and presence known. Representation and the desire to tell our stories go beyond the white lens. This cadre of extraordinary thought leaders will address topics including arts vs. commerce, selling out, social movements, new funding sources, and how they meet the demand for captivating content, as they courageously hold up the mirror to help us lift our gaze. Join these fearless creatives, as we shape the future of the industry, in s safe space, made for us, by us.

Join Head of Production and Development for Outlier Society Alana Mayo, TV/Film/Stage Actor and Director Gbenga Akinnagbe, Award-Winning Filmmaker Eli Jacobs-Fantauzzi, and MoCADA’s own Executive Director Amy Andrieux, for this enlightening conversation.
