ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
The American Black Film Festival (ABFF) is a four-day retreat and international filmmarket dedicated to strengthening the independent Black filmmaking community.Formerly known as the Acapulco Black Film Festival, it was founded in 1997 by Jeff Friday, President & CEO, Film Life Inc.; Byron Lewis, Chairman & CEO, UniWorld
Group, Inc.; and Warrington Hudlin, President, The Black Filmmaker Foundation. Thefestival was born out of their shared belief in the need to stimulate independent Blackfilm development and promote cultural diversity within the film industry.
With limited access to, images of, and opportunities for Black filmmakers in Hollywood,the ABFF created a platform to showcase the cinematic work of independent artists of vision and emerging talent. Having screened more than six hundred films (feature-length,shorts and documentaries) since its inception, the festival questions, redefines, discovers
and explores artistic excellence through sharing stories beyond the stereotypicalportrayals of Black and urban lifestyles.
The ABFF is committed to nurturing filmmakers in a variety of disciplines. Throughcompetitive film showcases and innovative annual programming initiatives (includingpanel discussions, workshops and seminars), the festival attracts and helps developtop-tier talent.
We at the ABFF work hard to create a unique environment where both accomplishedindustry professionals and the aspiring are able to meet and form interpersonalrelationships key to business success. With an attendance that has increased each year theABFF i h l di ki d f Bl k i h fil i d

New York, NY 10012
Dear Ms. Sharee:
On behalf of Miami-Dade County, the Office of Film and Entertainment is delighted to again support the
American Black Film Festival. The ABFF is one of the most prestigious multi-cultural film festivals
internationally. We are excited again about working with the ABFF to help it achieve the noterity itdeserves. We are proud that this exciting festival resides in our backyard.
Film and entertainment is being recognized as one of the fastest growing industries worldwide.
Miami-Dade County has targeted the film and entertainment industry as an economic engine thatcontinues to grow.
Location filming in 2012 contributed over $250 million to the local economy and productions direct-spend into Miami-Dade County.
As more independent filmmakers are calling Miami-Dade their home, their contribution to the local
economy is increasing. It is not only dollars that increase locally, but the diverse culture thatindependent filmmakers bring to the art. The ABFF contributes to nurturing independent filmmakers
and that assists to establish Miami-Dade County as a mecca for this multicultural art form
