ABOUT US
Our Team
Blackacre Productions has a very wide ranging team of professionals.
From acting and directing, to running small businesses, to global branding and marketing. Our team features very diverse backgrounds, but with a common goal of bringing attention to the lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in Hollywood by producing films that feature above-the-line cast and crew from traditionally underrepresented demographics in the industry.
