Here you can find all the latest topical news from within the black film industry both in the UK and globally.
Kush has been operating for 10 years now; and we are leaders in the field of independent film Marketing/PR & Exhibition, so in this weekly blog space we will be doing provocative, revealing & educational interviews with independent filmmakers with an emphasis on the UK market.
You can also catch up with the opinionated views of our confidential black film ghost guest writers, who won’t be afraid to tell it like it is….
Above all else, this is your space!
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 of Kush Films says “its about time black filmmakers here in the UK stood up to be counted, we have a voice, but currently it cannot be heard, I say lets make it be heard by standing as one, the UK film industry should be inclusive of all filmmakers, but if this continues not to be the case, can we not create opportunities of our own by coming together and creating an industry of own?
When our black brothers & sisters in the United states were excluded from mainstream industry what did they do? They created their own industry, which proved successful until segregation was eradicated, and many forgot the power of doing for oneself and their community.
Kush refuses to walk around with our hand out begging for ‘controlled support’ when we have the knowledge and will to do things for ourselves, thus, as we have been doing for 10 years and will continue to do so, as long as we prosper as a business providing this much-needed service.”
We need your help to get the debate about the direction of black British cinema off the ground and if that’s going to happen, you all need to be a part of it.
So let your voices be heard, have your say!
