ABOUT BANTUFY
OUR PURPOSE
BANTUFY was birthed to mend the alarming lack of authentic representation of Haitian, Caribbean and pockets of Latin communities around cinema. It is a movement to subvert the proverbial gate keepers of Hollywood and reclaim ownership of our existence. We aim to serve those stories, for them to be seen and for those who experience them to know they are not alone.
OUR MISSION
We disseminate stories about culture. We wield the art of motion pictures to explore the city of Miami, Florida and all its multi-colored diversity, with a keen focus on heritage and place. We celebrate the plight of first generation, immigrant and proletarian subjects who are often under- and mis- represented.
We prioritize the local, the resilient and the meaningful. Rather than pure advocacy, we practice purpose-driven media. We aim to restore a sense of existence in the people who have continuously been ignored.
