The Blackhouse Foundation (2006–present) is a non-profit organization that creates new opportunities for the Black community in the film world. This foundation attends film festivals across the world every year to encourage the creation of independent films based on people of African background.
History
The Blackhouse Foundation was created in 2006 when Brickson Diamond had attended two Sundance Film Festivals. There were very few black audience members, and even fewer films created by the black community. During Diamond's second visit, he met with Ryan Tarpley in an area designated for LGBTQ attendees, The Queer Lounge. It was then Diamond, Tarpley, and producer (Carol Ann Shine) thought of the idea for Blackhouse. Carol Ann Shine recommended that Diamond create an area for the black community at the Sundance Film Festival, similar to the area created for LGBTQ attendees. This was when Blackhouse was born.
Mission
As a foundation, they have held 110 events, and 300-panel discussions. They have also built 15,419 relationships with producers, filmmakers, etc.
