About us

Telling our stories through our lens

When we left the South during the Great Migration, we left stories and culture behind. Hayti Film reclaims that legacy using the power of story to transform communities and enrich culture.

 

Honoring this culture and land invites us to envision a world where we can be our authentic selves. Hayti Film provides a creative and caring space that is intergenerational, intersectional, and serves to strengthen community.

"All the traditional models for doing things are collapsing; from music to publishing to film, and it's a wide open door for people who are creative to do what they need to do without having institutions block their art."
- Ava DuVernay
