Produced by Mona Lisa Yuchengco, the film is supported by the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Festival Highlights: The Micheaux Film Festival's lineup spans multiple categories, including Live Action, Animation, Documentary, Web Series, Commercials, and Music Videos.

The festival will also feature insightful panels with Hollywood executives, agents, and managers, along with Spotlight Conversations with industry titans.

Courtney L. Branch, Co-Founder and Director of Programming, stated, "We are honored to present this season's selection of films from across the nation and around the globe. Our filmmakers have devoted immense effort to their projects, and we are privileged to host their premieres. Micheaux stands as a prestigious gathering place for emerging creators to network and connect with peers and industry leaders."
