WHAT’S UP WITH THE DISCONNECT

by Christopher Brooks

When I first moved to Philly 5 years ago I made an instant discovery… there was a extreme disconnect amongst the local minority filmmakers, which was very confusing to me because of large number of minority filmmakers that introduced themselves to me. The local minority filmmakers were making productions just in pockets and DIDN’T KNOW ONE ANOTHER. Deep. Realizing this gave me the concept for the networking event many of you may already know about called “The Set”. Since the launch of this event series, lots of local filmmakers have been working together and producing. But we have a long way to go. Please help me understand why this disconnect continues to exist and what we can do to eliminate it.
