A Conversation With Floyd Marshall Jr Podcaster•Mentor•Mindset Coach•Author. First in freedom. First in independence. First in honoring Independent Filmmakers. You had a vision you loved.

Everyone told you “No” but you kept saying “Yes.”

So with no studio, distributor, or financier – sometimes even no crew! – you worked long and hard to bring it to life. You cast your film, shot, edited, and scored it. And, now – with no media lights or cameras, no world premiere and no expected box office – you’ve brought your vision to the silver screen. These film awards are for YOU.

Producers used to tiptoe around actors, afraid to address lateness or forgotten lines. Those days are over. Now, there's no hesitation to pull an actor aside and have a direct conversation. The industry has changed.

It used to be so hard for Black filmmakers to find distribution. Now? Amazon, Tubi, Roku, Pluto, and YouTube. Especially YouTube—people are making a killing there. Don't sleep on it.

Sponsors walked away, but that's okay. We're relying on the community who helped us get here. This isn't about donations; it's about investing in something bigger. Your investment builds equity, and your ROI is seeing the amazing things this community achieves. It’s bigger than your takeaway.
