Born and raised in East Flatbush Brooklyn, Nuria D Born and raised in East Flatbush Brooklyn, Nuria Dixon grew up with the passion to tell stories. After joining the army and doing a tour in Iraq in 2003, her entire perspective on life completely changed and she knew she had to pursue her creative goals.  Nuria started her production company, 1 Soul Productions, in 2010; directing, shooting and editing music videos. Once she was ready to move on to narrative films, she enrolled in SVA MPS, Live action Short Film program, where she was able to write and direct / produce her first short film REDEPLOY under the guidance of industry stalwarts, including Bob Giraldi, Kathryn Roupp and Michael Holman.  Nuria is currently in pre-production to package a Drama series titled “Redeploy,” based on her first short film.  Her goal continues to be “to tell stories that are therapeutic and have the potential to change someone’s life for the better”.

We’re excited to screen Nuria’s film ETHAN ART VENTURE on Saturday. It’s an animated, mixed with Live-Action, short film about an autistic, illustrator who on his 9th birthday, is given a gift that allows him access to a powerful, imaginative, inner realm: a completely animated world.

Join us THIS SATURDAY 3 pm at the Museum of the Moving Image for an afternoon of Black Mom excellence!

Shaunic Stanford, a driven storyteller, has a crea Shaunic Stanford, a driven storyteller, has a creative imagination, and a deep love for the arts. She studied acting at the Cincinnati Playhouse where she discovered her passion for writing. Shaunic focused on screenwriting at the Jacob Krueger Studio and learned television comedy from her mentor, Jerry Perzigian (The Jeffersons, Golden Girls). Her screenplay, Decide, was a Semi-Finalist in the 2016 Screencraft Short Film Production Fund. It was also placed within the top 50 in the Shoot Your Short competition, and was a second-round finalist at the Austin Film Festival’s Screenplay Competition. Shaunic wrote and directed her first short film in 2021, The Best Time.  In addition to her film studies and accomplishments, Shaunic has earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Mount St. Joseph University. She currently lives in California, where she enjoys spending time with her family.

We are thrilled to screen her film, THE BEST TIME, this Saturday. In this film, Sydney is doing everything she can to meet the demands of being a new mom. She feels the pressure to bounce back, care for the baby, and be the best wife. Turning to her husband Derrick for comfort, who’s blind to her unhappiness, a depressed and seemingly alone Sydney loses the battle within herself.

We look forward to seeing you all at the Museum of the Moving Image for an afternoon celebration of Black Mom excellence.
