FOX SOUL, the Black community\u2019s premiere free streaming platform serving unapologetically Black, consumable by all content 365 days a year, announced today its joint partnership with HBCU Buzz, the leading source of HBCU News, Sports & Entertainment, servicing each of the 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities, on the launch of their HBCU Screening Room Pitch Contest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, 2022, FOX SOUL kicked off its official HBCU Pitch Contest presented by HBCUBuzz. Now until May 1, 2022, students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities will receive an opportunity to submit their short film concept and get a chance to win $5,000 to help fund their short film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to be partnering with HBCU Buzz on this great initiative for young filmmakers,\u201d says James DuBose, General Manager and Head of Programming at FOX SOUL. \u201cAt FOX SOUL, we are always looking to provide opportunities to help better represent the Black community. And right now, we are doing that by investing in our next generation of Black filmmakers so they can have a platform to share their creative projects to a larger audience.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The collaboration between  HBCU BUZZ and Fox Soul is essential to move the needle and create opportunities to engage audiences that have been overlooked while creating a space for black storytellers.There’s so much untapped talent in the HBCU Market and we want to make it our priority to help find the next best filmmaker. HBCU Buzz has made a commitment to bridging the gap between like minded organizations that share this same mission and commitment to HBCU students, and alumni, said Luke Lawal Jr., CEO and Founder, HBCU Buzz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students to enter into the HBCU Screening Room Pitch Contest, they must submit a 1-minute video to discuss their film concept. Students can use graphics, props, non-professional actors, or anything else that will help best convey the idea in 60 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
