Indeed Will Take Over Pre-Show to Feature 10 Short Films Created by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Filmmakers
NEW YORK, NY, July 12, 2023 – – Screenvision Media, a national leader in delivering comprehensive premium video advertising and content representation services for top-tier cinema exhibitors, today announced for the second consecutive year that Indeed Rising Voices will take over the Screenvision Front + Center pre-show from July 7 through August 31.
Indeed’s Rising Voices, which aims to discover, invest in, and amplify stories created by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) filmmakers, will alternate the ten films, with audiences seeing one film and exclusive behind-the-scenes content during Screenvision’s pre-show for movies Joy Ride and Blue Beetle. A QR code will also appear on screen, which enables moviegoers to access the full library of Rising Voices films.
“Screenvision is excited to extend our relationship with Indeed to help magnify voices of under-represented communities,” said Christine Martino, Screenvision Media Chief Revenue Officer. “Research has proven cinema is the number one video platform for attention, so we know all eyes will be on screen for the highly impactful Rising Voices films.”
This 2023 entertainment awards season has resulted in a record number of nominations and wins in the AAPI and other diverse communities. This season, Rising Voices had a diverse class of filmmakers including five AAPI, two Black and three Hispanic filmmakers. Hollywood has not always been equal in opportunity, and Indeed’s Rising Voices encourages BIPOC art to be seen by the world.
“We are proud of how impactful Rising Voices has been. Since its inception, the program has created over 2,000 jobs, and has shared meaningful stories from voices that are often not heard in the entertainment industry. We are thrilled that our partnership with Screenvision will again allow the films created by our incredible filmmakers to make it to the big screen throughout America,” said Chris Hyams, CEO of Indeed.
Moviegoers can experience the ten Rising Voices shorts across 50 theaters within Screenvision’s expansive exhibitor network, including the renowned TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles.
