10th Annual Bill Johnson Black Film Festival
African American Achievers Youth Corps, Inc. (AAAYC) is a not-for-profit organization founded to empower young, African-American males by uplifting them spiritually, mentally, physically, economically, and socially. Based on Christian principles,mentors and counselors help members cope with behavioral issues by offering mentoring and counseling that encourages positive behaviors. AAAYC collaborates with donors and other nonprofit organizations to provide opportunities for business development and academic improvement to prepare its members for real-world issues.
We partner with over 12 community groups to sponsor the 10th Annual Bill Johnson Black Film Festival. During the festival we screen feature, short films, and documentaries produced by Black directors and/or producers or by others as long as the film has a Black theme. We will have 2-3 screening just for students. Artistic personnel will be quest on area talk shows. Film makers will participate in discussions held at the end of some of the film blocks..
