Project Details
Filming on location at the University of South Carolina Columbia Campus from September 2021 to March 2022, we helped the African-American Studies Department (AFAM) produce this series of short documentary films to celebrate a milestone: the 50th anniversary of the Black Studies program at UofSC.
These short pieces were designed to explain what the AFAM Studies Department is, the work that they do, explore the history of the program and why it is so meanigful and relevant to the University of South Carolina.
For 7 months we filmed pivotal contributors, alumni, current and former faculty, staff and students that represent the wide variety of human beings that have played an important role in the development, growth and future of the department – and also how it has developed its own sense of community.
A special thank you to Frenche Brewer, Lindsey Arave, Dr. Qiana Whitted and the entire AFAM Studies Department – thank you for letting us tell this story for you.
