Black Public Media awarded a total of $610,000 to film and immersive projects and creatives at its seventh PitchBLACK Forum – the largest pitch competition for independent filmmakers and creative technologists developing new projects about the global Black experience – at the PitchBLACK Awards.
The figure was the highest ever amount awarded at PitchBLACK. Sponsored by Netflix and PBS, the event – held Thursday at the Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse at Lincoln Center – was hosted by Baltimore-based comedian Sir Alex and included the presentation of the BPM Trailblazer Award to Emmy-winning filmmaker Sam Pollard.
