“Empowering Black & African Descent Artists to Thrive in the Entertainment Industry”

Established in 2017 by the acclaimed writer, director, and producer Huriyyah Muhammad, the BTFC is more than just a nonprofit organization. We’re a dynamic hub dedicated to fostering the careers of Black and African descent artists, providing our members the tools and opportunities they need to achieve lasting financial success in the entertainment world.

The BTFC offers essential production support, enabling our members to cultivate a robust portfolio of work by offering fiscal sponsorship, craft development workshops, labs, and networking events designed to enhance our member’s skills and connections. Our core philosophy is “Make Your Work,” and we believe that through collaboration and collective strength, we can unlock boundless creative potential.

Thanks to generous funding from the Golden Globe Foundation, we’ve been able to expand our educational offerings and cultivate a growing community of supporters and partners.
