Left of Black S5:E7:  Crowdfunding Black Creative Vision

Left of Black host and Duke University Professor Mark Anthony Neal is joined via Skype by Felicia Pride, writer and producer of the short film The End Again, which stars Columbus Short and Tanee McCall-Short. The film is a prequel to the feature length film OpenEnded, also written by Pride.

“I was working in book publishing and marketing and I really felt that book publishers were missing the boat a little bit, because they were s0 fixated on format versus content” Pride says of her early adoption to multi-platform digital content.  The author of two books including the To Create: Black Writers, Filmmakers, Storytellers, Artists, and Media-Makers Riff on Art, Careers, Life, and the Beautiful Mess in Between, Pride is director of the storytelling  institute StoriesLead and the founder of  The Create Daily.
