Firelight Media, Reel South, and the Center For Asian American Media (Caam) has unveiled six filmmakers chosen for the Hindsight Project, a new initiative that focuses on supporting Black, Indigenous, and people of color (Bipoc) filmmakers living in the American South and U.S. Territories. Kiyoko McCrae, Dilsey Davis, Anissa Latham, Amman Abbasi, Arleen Cruz-Alicea and Zac Manuel were selected to create short films for a new digital series exploring the experiences of communities of color in the South and in Puerto Rico that reflect the migrations and movements throughout the complicated history of these regions.
The filmmakers selected will work with Firelight Media, Reel South, and Caam through all stages of production and will each receive financing up to $20,000 to produce a short film that seeks to disrupt mainstream narratives and illuminate the issues, communities, and identities of these regions. The filmmakers will receive production and distribution mentorship by veteran indie filmmakers.
