Parallel Film Collective

Local = Global Film + Mixed Media Culture.

Established in september 2008. Among the founders: Montré Aza Missouri (Film Professor at Howard University).

Mission
A collective of filmmakers, musicians, curators, mixed media and literary artists dedicated to promoting global images that transcend limiting racial, cultural and gender identities found in mainstream media. We partner with individuals and organizations equally committed to furthering innovative and diverse voices, in our effort to produce, distribute and exhibit independent film and media that elevate new transcultural identities.

Parallel Film Collective is part of Howard Film Culture, a non-profit organization started by Howard Film Alumni and Howard MFA Film Students focused promoting new images beyond the mainstream. We are also proud partners of AFFRM, as the DC area distributors of award-winning "Middle of Nowhere", "Better Mus Come" and for Summer 2013, "Big Words".
