About us
Black Girls Film Camp is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides a FREE, national, and virtual 12-week experience (held once a year) where high school Black girls across the country pitch a story idea, and a final ten are selected to have their short film project produced by the program. Over 200 Black girls across the country applied for the 2022 camp and 10 finalists were selected to direct and develop their own short films. The camp is an incubator for the 10 girls and each of their films. Participants receive free technology (iPads, ring lights, wireless mics, tripods, etc.) free software (final draft and adobe premiere), a personal production team of exemplary Black women creatives (editor and creative coach) contracted out by the camp, an all-expense paid weekend retreat in LA, and free workshops from Black women that are award-winning filmmakers and Ph.D. scholars. Films created by the teen girls and their production teams are showcased live during a virtual event over the summer and at film festivals (i.e. 2021 Mill Valley Film Festival) and college events (i.e. Emory University, USC, UNCC, etc.) in the US throughout the year. Following the 12-week camp, alumni participate in international outreach events throughout the year to share their stories with the world and support other aspiring young Black girl filmmakers.

A #SonyCreateAction grantee, Black Girls Film Camp, Inc. Camp is a 12-week film incubator for high school girls selected from across the country who have their short film produced and supported by the program. https://lnkd.in/ge5U7cAh “To know that [the girls] are valued, feel visible, and that their stories matter – that’s what I want them to experience immediately from this program,” said Dr. Jimmeka Anderson, Executive Director of Black Girls Film Camp. “After this program I want them to be more confident to create because we need more stories—their stories—that are visible to the world.” As recipients of the grant, the organization received $50,000 in cash to continue and expand their work, $50,000 in Sony Electronics products to support their action plan, and this Sony-produced short film to tell their story.
