NBPC New Media Insitute

The language of media production and distribution is one that has often written its own script. The artist at best listens to the heartbeat of the revolution and works hard to walk in sync. NBPC aims to help black producers become technicians in these new media, aiding them in future free expression. These selections are a result of NBPC's various training workshops and seminars through its New Media Institute (NMI).
