Adding some afrofuturistic fire to the Black Fire documentary

I was fortunate enough to create some motion graphics and animated sequences for a new documentary “Black Fire” This exciting film explores the story of the musical and afrofuturistic pioneers of the DC music scene, Black Fire Records, and is produced by The Home Rule Music and Film Preservation Foundation. The Black Fire Documentary uncovers Washington, DC’s music and its cultural heritage by highlighting the documents, images, photographs, art, video footage, music, and the people behind Black Fire Records. Through the use of primary and secondary research methods, in-person interviews, and archival and media footage and photography, the documentary shines a light on a Black-owned independent jazz record label started in Chocolate City, aka the nation’s capital in the 1970’s.
