OVERVIEW
At ORI Reel Film and Entertainment Festival, our mission is to illuminate and elevate urban communities through the power of film and creative expression. Anchored in the vibrant heart of Detroit, our annual prohibition-themed festival serves as a cornerstone for celebrating diversity, fostering education, and building connections within the entertainment industry.
We are committed to three core goals:
-
Empowering aspiring filmmakers and storytellers through film educational classes.
-
Community building, engagement, and facilitation by hosting Speakeasy Sessions.
-
Producing an annual festival that showcases diverse voices and brings the magic of cinema to urban audiences.
As we grow, our vision is to extend our spotlight, educational programs, and resources to other urban markets, creating a nationwide network of culturally rich and artistically empowered communities.
