CONGRATULATIONS to the 2022 PitchBLACK Award winners. Click here to view our press release announcing the winners and here for coverage of the event in Current. Thanks to all who joined us for the 2022 PitchBLACK Forum and Awards program, to our phenomenal emcee, Flmmaker/Comedian CJ Hunt, and finally to our a keynote speaker Filmmaker/Director/Producer Dawn Porter. The Awards ceremony’s salute to the 2022 BPM Trailblazer Award winner Orlando Bagwell was as inspiring as it was heartwarming and the pitches by this year’s traditional and immersive media makers were all powerful. BPM is pleased to have been able to award $225K in project funding and thanks our sponsors for making that possible.

ALERT

If you receive an email from someone named Kai claiming to be associated with Black Public Media and offering voice-over work for a project that would circulate throughout North America and parts of Africa, PLEASE IGNORE! That is NOT a Black Public Media project. It is a scam. BPM does not solicit VO talent by email and we are not at all affiliated with this person or their specious campaign. Sadly, the internet is rife with con artists. Stay safe!
