Invest directly in Black filmmakers in Houston.
When you choose to give, you become part of something bigger .. something powerful.
Black Cinema Club HTX is raising $10,000 to fund five $2,000 grants for Black filmmakers in Houston, to be awarded at our inaugural BCCHTX Film Festival.
This is more than a grant.
It is hands-on support, mentorship, and accountability to help local creatives move from idea to finished film.
We believe great stories already exist in our community. Access to funding and guidance is what turns those stories into reality.
-
Funding to cover equipment, locations, cast, crew, or post-production
-
A clear step-by-step plan from concept to completion
-
Ongoing support from the Black Cinema Club HTX team
-
Structure to ensure films are completed, not left unfinished.
-
Finished films will premiere at a special Black Cinema Club HTX screening event later this year or next year
