COMING DEC 7TH: The 2024 Afrofuturist Vampire Dance Party!
We’re BACK!! Thanks to your continued support, since we began crowdfunding since 2020. Back then, you supported our journey of turning a 2013 stage play, “Willow,” into a short film, “Willow: State of Emergency.” After our premiere screening at the Nuoyican Poets Cafe, winning Best Short Film of the Chicago Black FIlm Fest, and winning the WAVE Farm MAAF grant - we premiered the FIRST FOUR EPISODES of “Willow: House of Griots" in front of a live audience at Here Performing Arts Center.
And thanks to your support in making last year’s AVD Party an absolute hit, we were able to find representation for not only House of Griots, but also for a BRAND NEW FEATURE FILM in the “Willow” saga, “Willow: INVASION.”
This year, we’re raising funds to develop two highly-anticipated new feature film scripts: “Willow: Invasion,” and Paul Notice’s experimental Afrosurrealist autobiopic tackling generational love, trauma, and healing called, “Limerence.”
Join us as we celebrate the start of these new projects, and boogie down in a world of melanin and vampires!
