When intergenerational conversations happen between Black Canadian established and emerging filmmakers what results are pearls of wisdom about the film industry, the gatekeepers, challenges, strategies and victories.

These moments are captured in “Reel Black: Our Film Stories,” produced by OYA Media Group’s award-winning creative team, in which emerging Black filmmakers Christian Anderson and Ajahnis Charley learn what it takes to fulfill their filmmaking dreams through the insight of legendary filmmaker Claire Prieto-Fuller and seasoned filmmakers Karen King, Christene Browne, Karen Chapman, and Kelly Fyffe-Marshall.

In 2022, it still continues to be a topic of discussion even while we’re slowly starting to see some progress.

There’s still so much work to be done and this is where Oya Media Group comes in.

Its award-winning creative team produced an exceptional short doc Reel Black: Our Film Stories premiering on CBC Gem on Friday, July 8.
