Best Cinematography 🏆

Thank you to the Utah International Film Festival for recognizing our film and the women behind the lens.
From the start, the directing approach was intentional about collaborating with Black women cinematographers to bring this vision to life — @iambrimonet , Sika Stanton, and @simone_alezandria . Their artistry, discipline, and eye shaped every frame. Thank you, ladies!!

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the passing of Ms. Afeni Shakur. We hope this work honors her legacy and makes her proud.

This film is an early chapter of a much larger story.
This is only the beginning.

We took home Bronze at the USC Media Institute for Social Change Film Festival 🥉

‘The Day You Find Your Name’ was made in the Media for Social Change class led by Jeremy Kagan + John Watson - a space that really pushed us to tell stories that mean something.

Special love to our lead Journey Carter @imjourneyfr and cast like Gavin Peppers @gavin.peppers who pulled up to support the screening. Having the team in the room made it even more special.

This film was always about impact first. Grateful it continues to connect with people.
