THE ACT II PROJECT

“Where your vision meets your village—and your next chapter begins.”

The Act II Project is a bold production initiative powered by Black Women in Film Inc., designed to greenlight the visions of Black women entering the film and media industry later in life.

We don’t offer mentorship. We offer opportunity. Through this initiative, one visionary filmmaker is selected to receive full-scale production support to write, direct, and bring her story to life—with our studio, our crew, and our resources behind her.

This is more than access—it’s action.

Each cycle of the Act II Project results in an original short film or visual piece led by a second-act filmmaker and produced by Act II Studios, our creative studio arm. From development to distribution, we work alongside our selected creator to ensure her story makes it from the page to the screen—and into the world.

Because dreams don’t expire. They evolve.
