An Award-winning Production
The reception of this work from both audiences and critics far exceeded expectations given the very tight budget the project was produced under. Awards include "Best Local Feature" at the Philadelphia Film Festival, an NAACP Image Award Nomination, "Best Musical Feature" at the Baltimore Black Film Festival, a 2nd-place finish for Best Documentary Feature at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival and the Denton Black Film Festival, and "Best Director" and a "Spotlight Award" from the California Music Video Awards.
"This is My Black" is also an official selection of over a dozen film festivals worldwide, including the SXSW EDU, the Pan African Film Festival, the International Art Film Festival, the Out of Africa International Film Festival, The Mesa International Film Festival, the Halifax Black Film festival and others.
