“The industry tends to be a dark void with no idea how to get your work seen. It's impossible and with this racial climate you feel they don't care. This program brought lights to that dark void. It showed my vision is valid and they want it. It made Hollywood less scary and made me inspired to take it on.” TFT 2018
