Black Star- Tega Okiti

Today's session involved meeting Tega Okiti, who is one of the organisers of the BFI Black Star season, which is running from October to December this year. She spoke to us about the season and how she got into the industry. Here's the trailer for the season:

Tega got into the industry through internships with the BFI and worked her way up from there. This taught me that internships can be a good way to get into the film industry, specifically the more organisational side. She also gave us a lot of film recommendations for films with black actors in them. This will be useful as the experimental short film we are making has to have at least one black actor in it.

Here are some photos from the session:
