details

• 35 calendar days from concept to execution

• 10 BIPOC film makers

• 300+ visitors per day to the Indeed lounge

• Multiple Indeed events per day including a mid-week AfterParty

• Indeed returned for a 2023 activation

This event comes in third of the top three hardest events I have produced. An extremely tight turn around, a very slim team, and multiple events all happening at the same time, are just a few of the hurdles I had to leap over to make these events a sprawling success.

The client said it best; “Indeed’s mission is simple: to help people get jobs. We know that talent is universal. However, opportunity is not. That’s why we created Rising Voices. In collaboration with Lena Waithe, Hillman Grad Productions, Ventureland, and 271 Films, this program aims to discover, invest in and amplify stories created by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) filmmakers and storytellers.”

My job was to build (figuratively and literally) the platform in which these 10 filmmakers would showcase their talent.
