Reelblack's mission is to educate, entertain, enlighten and empower people through Black film. Since 2007, we have been capturing the New Black Film Revolution through interviews with the filmmakers, actors and musicians that make up the movement. In addition to our original content, we dig through archives to share video and music relevant to these conversations.
Founder MIKE D. is a graduate of both NYU and The American Film Institute.

Thank you @blackstarfest @phillyfilmsociety @muralarts for recognizing #Reelblack in their upcoming mural. I am grateful and thankful. Reelblack represents a movement of dozens of volunteers, hundreds of artists and literally millions of viewers interested in preserving and celebrating Black Film, Black Culture and Black Consciousness. It feels good to be recognized as part of the fabric of Philly Culture. Watch this space. I’m sure the unveiling is forthcoming. Let’s pack the joint.
