Exclusive: Blackhouse Foundation Portraits From Sundance 2020

Shadow And Act is pleased to exclusively debut the photos from the Blackhouse Foundation’s Portrait Studio from the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.

The Blackhouse Foundation is one of the organizations providing a safe space and haven for Black talent, filmmakers, press and moviegoers during their Sundance experience. It’s a time and place to grab breakfast, hang out, network, turn up and much more. According to the organization, “The Blackhouse Foundation stands out as a bastion for the most influential and impactful Black writers, directors, producers, crew, actors and actresses throughout film, television, digital media and beyond. It continues to elevate such talent into the spotlight on a global scale via engagements at Sundance.”

Over the course of the first weekend, the Blackhouse held several events and panels, including a panel with the cast of the Sundance Award-winner Charm City Kings, clips and conversation for OWN’s Cherish The Day, a conversation with Sundance Award-winner Radha Blank for The 4o-Year-Old Version, and many other things.

This year, Facebook was the presenting sponsor for the Blackhouse Foundation, and Strayer University and WarnerMedia were premier sponsors. Other sponsors were OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, fwd.us, BET Networks, Color of Change, Paramount, Universal Pictures and Planned Parenthood. Hidden Empire Film Group, STARZ, the Mississippi Film Office and Lyte were the Blackhouse Fellowship Program 2020 sponsors.

The biggest stars at Sundance stopped by Blackhouse over the four days and were captured in the studio. Check out a collection of some of the photos below:
