​

Building on a history of successful distribution and audience reach, FILMSTERS is currently in production on three feature documentaries—Learning to Fly, a powerful documentary that traces the journey of Black actors in America, told through the lens of iconic master acting coach Vera J. Katz. Drawing on her decades of mentorship, the film weaves intimate interviews, personal stories, and archival footage to illuminate the emotional, artistic, and economic realities Black performers face on stage and screen—revealing how talent, resilience, and identity collide in an industry still wrestling with representation, and what it truly takes to be seen, valued, and finally free to fly. And Homies, which follows two Black boys raised across from each other in an Annapolis housing project whose lives take radically different paths—one to prison, the other to college—revealing how close the line is between opportunity and incarceration. Spanning more than 30 years and using rare archival footage, the film offers an intimate look at race, choice, and the systemic forces shaping Black lives in America. The documentary feature BIG BABY is the powerful story of Baby Jane Dexter—an iconic New York club singer whose incredible talent, resilience, and near-miss with a Blue Note record reveal the music industry’s hidden injustices and lost opportunities. Featuring voices from legends of NYC’s 1970s music scene, the film shows how Baby Jane transforms pain into healing—onstage and off—using music to change lives.

 

Each of these films is designed for strong positioning at festivals and across theatrical, streaming, and global licensing markets. With an established ability to secure top-tier distribution, maximize audience engagement, and deliver award-winning content, FILMSTERS continues to offer compelling, risk-mitigated opportunities for investors and strategic partners.
