Reel Black: Our Film Stories wins best Short documentary at the 2022 Caribbean Tales Film Festival
Oya Black Arts Coalition (OBAC) is a non-profit organization based in Toronto, that focuses on supporting Black Emerging Filmmakers and Black Entrepreneurs striving to make a difference in the film, entertainment and digital media industry. OBAC is built on four pillars: Employment, Skill Enhancement, Experimentation and Entrepreneurship. These four pillars help to keep our vibrant stories alive by ultimately providing the tools to get our stories on on screens, whether it is on television, in the theatre, streaming or in the metaverse. At Oya Black Arts Coalition (OBAC) we encourage Black creatives to write, direct, produce, and reflect upon their life experiences without having to justify, explain, or defend their reality.
