OYA Emerging Filmmakers Graduation Ceremony

We at the OYA Black Arts Coalition are very excited to celebrate the creative growth and success of our sixth cohort of the OYA Emerging Filmmakers Program. These filmmakers wrote, directed, and crewed up to produce the magical fantasy comedy Cocoa Butter Wishes:

When a mysterious birthday gift, a jar of cocoa butter, turns out to house a Genie, an aspiring twenty-something writer named Tia struggles to figure out what’s really worth wishing for––the life she wants for herself or the life that would impress her family.

The ceremony will take place in Cinema 3 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, followed by a reception in the Founders Lounge. Join us on May 15th as we present the cohort's film and celebrate the fruits of their labour!
