🌲✨🥳🖤
These larger corporations most times contact us last minute for BHM. Now is the perfect time to start the process. Don’t wait until Black History Month to hire Black Creatives.
Let’s go beneath the surface.

Just Wow!
It all started from a prompt by our Executive Producer @ashleycimone to show solidarity within the Black creative community August 2020 . @anthonyprinceleslie wanted to honor Matriarchs in all forms and boom we have Ase. Fast forward to now, we’ve managed to gain 8 nominations in La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival. Stay tuned!

New website coming soon!
Equator Productions updated their business hours.
In January 2019 I joined ASHYA on a journey to learn more about the Irula’s in Tamil Nadu, India (south) and met some amazing people. It was truly an eye opening experience. We learn more about the Irula’s who birth some of the most skillful snake catchers and I’m talking about the most deadliest snakes. A year later NOWNESS premiered our short documentary.

Equator Productions teamed up with travel accessories brand ASHYA to produce their AW19 lookbook campaign. Inspired by the snake-catching Irula tribe of Southern India, the campaign was captured in both Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, India and in New York City.

@sipnsketch.nyc x @electroposi
This month @sipnsketch.nyc will host a session at @electroposi , for a discussion about Accessibility and Representation in Fine Arts with @eliserpeterson , artist, writer and educator, @marcuslesliestudio , artist and educator, @ivie.a Creative Exec of Cinereach, and @genevalw Co-Founder of Scope of Work and We’re going to capture it. 🎥✨
“Anymore” is a story of awakening, rebirth and ultimately, a return to nature. We find Allen and Anna underneath the setting winter sun, brewing a magic potion to invoke Mother Earth. Almost immediately they’re separated and become lost in the chaos of their individual experiences, where they encounter mythical forest beings that both frighten and inspire awe. Tarot cards are used to give context to each character that they meet. Allen and Anna eventually find each other again at the foot of Mother Earth herself. There they are presented with a prophetic message and returned to their conscious state—awakened, enlightened, and anew. “Anymore” is a song that looks at the impact of the current state of our technology obsessed culture, where people are left less in touch with themselves, their physical connection to the world and the people around them.
