TMT Film Festival is dedicated to presenting an array of relevant and engaging films addressing complex social issues and hardships. Our mission is to educate, inspire, engage and connect diverse people around common goals through the art of storytelling and filmmaking. TMT Film Festival benefits the TMT Youth Community Foundation whose mission is to create a global social entrepreneurial educational network system that delivers economic opportunities to impoverished communities. Filmed and produced by TMT Mentees , this year’s film festival will highlight local tech industry in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill

We showcase short documentary and narrative films that create positive self perceptions for African American youth. The foundation of these films work to elevate the research of Camille Cosby’s book “Television’s Imageable Influences” and Donald Bogle’s book Primetime Blues, African Americans on Network Television. We aim to bring together people of different cultures and backgrounds in one place for the celebration of life, culture and diversity through our official selections of films. We strive to create a cradle to career atmosphere for young filmmakers and encourage positive images for social impact. Our mission is to empower lives by celebrating the power of media for social justice.
