What if you could transform your artistic career while celebrating culture and community? This episode of "The Artists Within" promises to do just that with our inspiring guest, Trey Ford, co-founder of Black Film Matters. Trey shares his remarkable journey from managing the comedy group Fake Famous Comedy to launching Black Film Matters, an initiative that redefines filmmaking and creates incredible opportunities for artists. We dive into his experiences organizing themed private screenings for films like "Wakanda Forever" and hear heartfelt tributes to iconic figures such as Chadwick Boseman. Trey’s insights into the upcoming Afrofuturism Film Festival will leave you eager to explore the future of film and art.

Transitioning from film programmers to filmmakers, Trey and his fraternity brothers have leveraged their diverse talents to offer valuable services to independent filmmakers. Engaging stories of collaborations with artists like Ebony Payne-English and Carlos provide a glimpse into the power of teamwork and the impact of consistent, small actions leading to significant changes. The introduction of the docu-reality series "Transformed" offers a fascinating look at the contrast between society's body positivity movement and the entertainment industry's standards. This chapter underscores the vital role of art in translating human emotions and mental health, illustrating how even a small spark of light can profoundly impact the world.

From the transformative power of agriculture to personal growth and community collaboration, Trey’s profound reflections invite us to reconnect with nature and our roots. We explore his plans for the Florida Fish Pepper Co., community garden crawls, and events like the premiere of "Future Soul" and the next pitch party on 904 Day. As Trey takes us on a metaphorical journey from Florida to California, we’re reminded to enjoy each step of the process and find joy in our progression. Join us for an episode filled with inspiring stories, powerful insights, and exciting projects that promise to redefine what's possible in art and life.
