Spotlight on!
BTFC Member Breanna Hogan O’Conner is a screenwriter, producer, and entertainment publicist. An HBCU graduate from Howard University, Breanna is an alumna of the Television Academy’s prestigious internship program, which brought her to Los Angeles and kicked off her career in publicity. Much like Ava DuVernay, Breanna leveraged her experience as an accomplished publicist into a career as a multi-hyphenate filmmaker. While juggling the demands of a full-time publicist, Breanna secretly studied screenwriting and made her debut as a screenwriter with original dramedy series À LA CARTE, which she sold to AMC Network’s ALLBLK in 2021. The show’s first season is currently streaming on and season 2 is set to premiere later this year.
Earlier this year, Breanna joined forces with her husband to start IMAGINARIUM CREATIVE AGENCY, a full-service creative agency/production company hybrid that specializes in making high quality and creative content from a cultural lens. Their capabilities are cross functional and span across mediums in TV/Film, Branded + Commercial content, Experiential, and more. From conception to completion, their mission is to tell stories that represent, advocate, and elevate minority and marginalized communities and voices.

Check this out! EVERY MONTH we're highlighting Black authors who tackle topics on the film and TV industry! ⭐️ Transitions: A Director's Journey & Motivational Handbook by @petechatmon is on sale now! 🔗 Check out the book and learn about the author https://amzn.to/3UlD8up 📚️ Learn more about the book: Becoming a director is not just about making a film, web-series, commercial, or music video. The opportunity to direct for television is not a given because you’ve successfully completed a project in another medium. Turning your passion into your profession requires the ability to make transitions at the exact moment a pivot is needed, with creativity and confidence. Chatmon’s book helps directors across all mediums shape their career with targeted anecdotes, worksheets, and other resources, all of which fall into three designated categories: How-To, Self-Help, and Inspiration. #BTFCBookClub #MakeYourWork * * * * * #Blackauthors #TV #Film #writers #screenwriters #films #hollywood #cinema #filmmaker #filmproduction #director #filmfestival #filmmaking #producer #writingcommunity #writerslife #indiefilmmaking #writerlife #filmlife #movies #TVwriter #ReasonableDoubt #Blackish #Grownish #TheFlightAttendant #Insecure #You #AllRise #Blindspotting #Hulu #HBO #Netflix
