First Look: The Negro Artist
Become a producer for our first film!
To our subscribers - THANK YOU for tuning in to our content. This fall, we’re releasing our first feature-length documentary: The Negro Artist: A Poet and His Impact. Check out some images from the film below.
The Iowa-centric documentary follows the story of Caleb Rainey, a spoken word poet with artistic roots in eastern Iowa. His poetry and community service efforts are bolstering the arts across the state of Iowa. We are deep in post-production. We need your help with the associated costs.
