What Attendees Say
Tommy I had an amazing time at CBFF. I have been to a lot of festivals and yours is by far is one of the best I've been to. It services the people that need it the most. Plus, in terms of attendance it's probably the best and I have been to Pan African and HBFF and the people do not support independent films like they do at CBFF if they don't have stars in it. What you're doing for the city of Charlotte is outstanding.
Producer/Director Mark Harris Chicago, ILL
Tommy and the staff at CBFF was great. The workshop s were educational and informative! A wonderful environment to network. The films were also great! Can’t wait till next year! Keep up the good work.

Just wanted to thank you for the advice that you gave me and the experience I got from the Charlotte Black Film festival. I pitched the Comedy Movie The Jitney Station about the Unlicensed Taxi Service in the Black Community. Again Thanks a lot. I learned a lot
