Over the past few months, producers and talent from across NBCU Entertainment and Peacock participated in the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) and EssenceFest.
Every year, the Black community converges on both festivals to gather and celebrate Black content.
American Black Film Festival
At ABFF, NBCU held the first public screening of the upcoming NBC fall drama “Found.” This twisty and timely drama follows PR specialist Gabi Mosely (Shanola Hampton) and her crisis management team as they search for missing people from marginalized groups who do not typically receive widespread media attention, as she was once one of the forgotten ones. But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own.
EssenceFest
NBCUniversal returned to EssenceFest, one of the world’s largest celebrations of Black culture and the largest festival in the country per daily attendance.
Talent from across our entertainment networks participated in five panels at the Essence Film Festival representing Peacock’s “Bel-Air,” NBC’s “Found” and hit Bravo series, “Married to Medicine,” “Real Housewives of Atlanta” and “Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard.”
“Bel-Air” breakout star Jabari Banks spoke on the “Leaders of the New School” panel alongside fellow actors Dominique Fishback (“Swarm”), Jacob Latimore (“The Chi”), Joseph Sikora (“Power” franchise)Amber Stevens West (“Run the World”). They shared how they navigate relationships on set as leads of their respective series.
