Here you can find all the latest topical news from within the UK Independent & global film scene with an emphasis on promoting black filmmakers without excluding all relevant film news.
This blog is for everyone, who generally just loves FILMS!
Kush Promotions (Kush Films) has been operating for 10 years now; and we are the leading independent specialist black film Marketing/PR & Exhibition organisation in the UK.
In this blog space we will be covering film news, events, gossip
and everything we think relevant to the global independent and mainstream film scene. I myself will contribute on happenings at Kush on a monthly basis. There will also be provocative, revealing & educational interviews with independent filmmakers, along with competitions giving away free DVD’s and event tickets.
You can also catch up with the opinionated views of our confidential guest ghost writers, who won’t be afraid to tell it like it is….
Above all else, this is your space – to tell us what you think and make comments & create dialogue to posts.
Please do engage in the debate and comment on what you read here and if you’re interested in being a guest blogger, please get in touch.
Marlon Palmer the founder of Kush Promotions (Kush Films) created Kush in 1998 to initially create a platform for independent black filmmakers here in the UK, whom he believed were almost invisible due to not been offered the opportunities afforded to others.
Time has moved on but nothing has really changed in the UK film scene for ethnic minority filmmakers and actors, so Kush continues its work to align black filmmakers with all independent filmmakers & the film scene as a whole thus uniting them as one – One UK Film industry.
The UK film industry should be inclusive of all filmmakers. If this were so, then talented actors like Marianne Jean Baptiste (TV Series – Without A Trace) & the in-demand Idris Elba (The Wire) wouldn’t have been discovered in American cop shows. They would have had the opportunity here in the UK to make their names, but the truth is; it isn’t so.
If you would like to join the debate (regardless of your cultural background!) about the given support, inclusiveness & the future direction for black filmmakers & actors then please let your voices be heard, Go on – have your say!
