Kamau Tyehimba
Co-founded by the late filmmaker Kamau Tyehimba, Reel Black Filmmakers’ foundation is to build a community of filmmakers of African descent, who adhere to some of the basic tenets of the role and relevancy of Black artists and Black arts in the lives of Black people.
Following his passing, Tyehimba’s family and friends established the Kamau Tyehimba Filmmaker Scholarship. The scholarship was created because Tyehimba believed that Black filmmakers should represent “people from whom they come and who they represent in their varied forms of creative expressions.” Moore, Rice and Weathersby were the inaugural scholarship recipients.

“This anniversary is very significant. Kamau passed away last year, and we miss having him here to celebrate with us. The continuation of his cultural legacy is solid with these three outstanding filmmakers.”
