About the house
Black Tales TV
Black Tales TV is a streaming and creative media platform built to showcase short films, music videos, trailers, documentaries and original visual storytelling — with a strong commitment to people of color.
Who it's for
Everyone is welcome here
The platform is open to everyone. Cast, crew and creators can be of any race or background. What we do intentionally is create more visibility, opportunity, ownership and access for people of color — especially Black creators who have historically been underserved in film and entertainment. Centering those voices doesn't close the door on anyone; it opens one that has been shut too long.
Four ways to use the platform
01
Watch
Discover finished films and visual stories
Short films, music videos, trailers and documentaries — screened in theaters owned by the people who made them.
02
Create
Make films, trailers, music videos and production assets
Develop scripts, scenes, characters, wardrobe, voice performances, music and cinematic frames inside the studio.
03
Distribute
Reach audiences on Black Tales TV and beyond
Your own theater page, the district marquee, connected channels and Roku distribution for qualifying work.
04
Expand
Access special opportunities as they open
Through our relationship with SwadeSpace.com, selected projects may be considered for space-economy promotional experiences and digital media initiatives.
More than a place to watch
Build it here, finish it here
Creators can develop and produce short films, cinematic trailers, music videos, promotional content, characters, scenes, music, voice performances and the supporting production assets that hold a project together — then showcase the finished work in their own theater.
